EQUIP's MDS 3.0 Analytics Tool is on the Horizon for 2010

Although the time for MDS 3.0 implementation is not here yet, it is indeed on the horizon for 2010. The EQUIP technical and clinical staff are busy preparing for the design and development of the EQUIP MDS 3.0 Analytics Tool, which will provide you with all of the reports and information you have come to trust and depend upon in the current version of the tool. In addition, EQUIP staff are committed to ensuring there is a smooth transition from the MDS 2.0 to the MDS 3.0 and that we release the new version of the EQUIP MDS Analytics Tool in a timely manner.

Full implementation of MDS 3.0 is expected to occur in October 2010. It's not too early to become familiar with the MDS 3.0 and to start planning how to implement it in your facility. For information from CMS regarding the 10/01/10 implementation, click here.
