MDS 3.0 QM User’s Manual V9.0 contains detailed specification for the MDS 3.0 quality measures. MDS 3.0 QM User’s Manual V9.0 is available under the Downloads section of this page. This new file, Effective October 1, 2015, includes two key changes. First, there are two changes to the influenza vaccine measures: a change in time period for calculation of the measures and a change to a single calculation per year. Second, there is a change to the missing values for risk adjusted measures, such that missing values for items used to calculate coefficients result in resident being assigned to the ‘low risk’ category, rather than being dropped from the calculation.
The QM User’s Manual V9.0 can be found here.
