CMS provides a sneak peek of RAI User’s Manual chapter

By: Adrienne Trivers July 2nd, 2009

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released an example of what Chapter 4: Care Area Triggers (CATs) and Care Planning of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User’s Manual, Version 3.0 will look like. CATs are replacing the MDS 2.0 Resident Assessment Protocols (RAPs). This is only an example and the final version will be included when CMS releases the RAI User’s Manual for the MDS 3.0 available later in the year.

To view Chapter 4: Care Area Triggers (CATs) and Care Planning, visit the Resources page on MDSCentral.
