Providers who are unable to attend one of these sessions are strongly encouraged to consult the MDS 3.0 information on the website of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services at http://www.cms.gov/NursingHomeQualityInits/25_NHQIMDS30.asp. CMS has also archived a webcast providing an introduction and overview of MDS 3.0 at http://surveyortraining.cms.hhs.gov/pubs/Archive.aspx. It is expected that two additional webcasts covering MDS 3.0 will be posted on this site prior to October 1.

Providers are encouraged to view these webcasts and to avail themselves of the other information posted on the CMS website, and to attend one of the DQA training sessions if at all possible. For more information, please contact DQA's RAI Education Coordinator, Peg Katz, at (715) 836-6748 or margaret.katz@dhs.wisconsin.gov.
