Long-Term Care Providers Online Connection | Action
Convention Will Provide MDS 3.0 Training and Support
By Cyndi Spencer

Care Providers of Minnesota has dedicated a great amount of resources during the past year to providing members with as much training, resources, and guidance as possible in preparation for the implementation of MDS 3.0 and RUG-IV this week.  Our commitment to ensuring that members have the tools necessary to be successful with this complicated transition continues, and our Convention will offer many opportunities to learn more and find out which areas are already presenting challenges.  We will also have MDS 3.0 experts on hand to answer your questions.

Here are some of the formal education and resources you’ll find available to you and your staff at the Convention this year; in addition, remember the tremendous value of tapping in to the experience and expertise of your colleagues and peers.
