MDS 2.0 Refresh Data

Because the resident chart is always changing, you may need to update the information that flows into the MDS assessment.

You can update MDS data that is auto-populated into the MDS if there are changes made or additional information has been added that could impact the coding of the assessment (for example. POC, demographics). Refresh Data can be applied within an individual MDS section as well as refreshing all unsigned MDS sections. When refreshing data, you can select what type of information in PointClickCare updates within the MDS.

  1. In the MDS assessment, click Refresh Data in an individual section, or the MDS section listing.

  2. In the Refresh Data window that appears, select the applicable areas of PointClickCare to be refreshed in the MDS.

  • Refreshing data from the MDS section listing refreshes all sections for the area of PointClickCare that was selected in any section that is not yet signed.

  • The options for Refresh Data are based on your facility functionality, for example, the POC and Therapy modules must be in use for these options to be available.

  • You must have security permissions to view the Refresh Data capabilities within the MDS.
