MDS 2.0 - Review of Sections - Section U

Be aware of the special items in section U. 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.

If your facility is using section U of the MDS assessment, several items can auto-populate:

  • Medication Name and Dose Ordered auto-populates from the Physician Orders section of the resident’s chart, if your facility is using the Physician Orders modules.

  • DIN Codes – auto-populates from the Physician Orders section of the resident’s chart, if your facility is using the Physician Orders modules.

  • PRN-n – auto-populates from the documentation entered into eMAR, if your facility is using the eMAR module.
