Verifying MDS Assessments

When all sections (except section V) of an MDS assessment are complete (yellow) or signed (green), you can run MDS Analytics to assess the clinical and logical consistency of the coding.

After clicking Verify for the MDS assessment, you receive instant feedback on potential data integrity issues. You can review the Verification Report and change responses in the MDS assessment as needed.

MDS Analytics is available for Quarterly, Annual, Significant Change, and Admission Full assessments.
