MDS 2.0 Portal - In Progress View

In Progress View in the MDS Portal shows the MDS assessments that are not locked, struck out, or closed. You can edit an MDS directly from this view to easily enter information, and save and sign sections.

You can also monitor this section for MDS assessments that have no unsigned sections, but are not locked. This ensures that assessments are not missed when creating a batch for submission because they were not Export Ready.

Open view:

  1. Hover over Clinical > select MDS from the Care Management list in the menu box to open the MDS Portal.

  2. Click In Progress tab on the gray bar.

  3. Click Set as My Default View link in upper right of window.

  4. Click Unit or Floor. Click All to include all units and floors in your facility. Or Filter to a specific unit or floor.
