Join Leah Klusch, Operational Consultant, for an in-depth review of the HOT topics impacting the Quality Measures database and Data Verification Audits. Facilities are expanding Quality Measures data beyond the MDS, along with new MDS items that directly contribute to Quality Measure outcomes.

These changes affect the entire data formulation process across the facility and underscore the importance of accurate, defensible clinical documentation.

After participating in this session, learners will be able to:

• Identify recent changes to the Quality Measures database, including data sources beyond the MDS
• Describe how new MDS items influence Quality Measure calculations and outcomes
• Explain how clinical documentation supports accurate data formulation and coding
• Recognize common risks identified during Data Verification Audits
• Apply practical clinical and operational strategies to improve data accuracy and audit readiness

This session is designed for clinical nurses, MDS coordinators, quality assurance staff, and operational leaders involved in documentation, compliance, and survey preparedness.

Join us for a practical, example-driven discussion focused on improving data integrity, regulatory compliance, and quality outcomes.
