When viewing and working with an MDS two information header lines are presents as well as an icon based tool bar.
The first header row is located to the right of the resident name on the top of the MDS window and indicates the progression and status of the MDS. The current status of the MDS is listed in white text while other statuses are grey text. In the above example the current status is CMS Pending. See below for status definitions.
• Open
• Created MDS with reasons for assessment, data entry not complete
• Automatic status assigned once reasons for assessment completed
• Members of interdisciplinary team can each create working copies to complete their sections of the MDS
• Closed
• MDS nurse can move the MDS to this status when it is determined it is time to finish this assessment, run validation and sign assessment
• All working copies must be committed to the master before status can be changed
• From read-only version select Move to Closed from the tool bar
• Only MDS Coordinator can access MDS at this stage – only one working copy available so any changes made by MDS nurse would not be over-written by another user.
