Effective October 1, 2010 Registered Nurses who complete the Medical Necessity and Level of Care (MN&LOC) Assessment for Community Care waivers will be utilizing a new assessment: the MN&LOC 3.0. Attend this exclusive, one-day clinical training in order to:
- Accurately complete the new MN&LOC 3.0 assessment form
- Relate the new form to the 34 Resource Utilization Groups (RUG) set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS)
- Examine how an accurate assessment affects the RUG calculation
Sheri Kennedy, R.N., B.A., M.S.Ed., RAC-MT, President & CEO of Knowledge Solutions, is the conference speaker and expert consultant for CMS, has been actively involved with the Center’s development and training for the nursing facility version of the assessment, the MDS 3.0, from which the Community Care MN&LOC is derived.
