MDS 2.0 - Review of Sections - Sections B, E, G, and H

You need to be aware of special items in sections B, E, G, and H.

Remember that all auto-populated responses must be verified as accurate at the time of completion as you are signing for, and attesting to, the accuracy of the data within the MDS.

  • Section B1 - Comatose - if answered Yes, questions B2-F3 and N2-N5 are disabled.

  • Section E - Responses auto-populate from Point of Care (POC).

  • Section G - Responses auto-populate from Point of Care (POC).

  • Section H - Responses auto-populate from Point of Care (POC).

  • Items noted to populate from POC only populate if your facility is using the applicable follow up question(s) in your POC application. In the Follow Up Question Library you can search by MDS 2.0 Question Key to review these questions.

  • Section information only auto-populates from Point of Care (POC) if documentation is entered for the entire lookback period.
