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
