Episode 78 - Thank an MDS Coordinator Today

Megan Ussery, RN, RAC-CT (Resident Assessment Coordinator - Certified) joins the podcast today to share her experiences as an MDS coordinator and how discusses important this role is in your facility. She recently read an article (link below) which describes the alarming spike in MDS coordinators are leaving long-term care. This is a problem!! Megan wants for all of us to thank an MDS coordinator today and offer them support. She offers her MDS hotline as a layer of support (link below) and invites MDS coordinators to check out her monthly webinar series - MDS QIEs to Success. We've included the link to this month's webinar below. Thank you MDS for all you do!!
