The MDS Coordinator’s primary goal is to manage MDS assessments in long-term care facilities, which evaluate all patients’ health, quality of care and well-being. These facilities hire MDS Coordinators to ensure the paperwork gets completed correctly and consistently, as required to maintain Medicare and Medicaid funding. Using their in-depth knowledge of the assessment’s complex coding and regulations, the MDS Coordinator assesses patient care to complete forms for each patient. They’re also involved in the admissions process, helping with initial intake assessments and regularly updating assessments for all patients. MDS Coordinators use their nursing backgrounds and the data they gather to create care plans that support residents’ health and well-being. They frequently work with the rest of the care team to ensure all patients receive high-quality care. The work involves detailed data collection, with special attention to relevant rules and regulations to ensure the facility remains in compliance.
