RAI/MDS
Resident Assessment Instrument/ Minimum Data Set
RAI/MDS was designed to facilitate achievement and maintenance of the resident’s highest practical level of well-being by identifying and documenting individual resident’s needs and strengths, and incorporating this information into the resident’s care plan
RUG REPORTS
What is a RUG?
Resource Utilization Group This classification system uses information
from the MDS assessment to classify nursing home residents into a series of groups representing the residents’ relative direct care resource requirements
RUG Basics1
SVH reports will utilize RUG IV There are 66 RUGs in the RUG IV
classification system
RUG Basics2
Eight major classification categories Rehab plus Extensive Services Rehabilitation Extensive Services Special Care High Special Care Low Clinically Complex Behavioral Symptoms & Cognitive Performance Reduced Physical Function

CMI
Each RUG group has a weighted value called Case Mix Index
Represents the relative use of resources for a resident
Case refers to nursing facility resident Mix refers to the mixture of different types
of residents cared for in the CLC
Things to consider1
How do your residents fall into the various RUG categories?
Would first pay attention to the residents in the Reduced Physical Function and the Behavioral Symptoms & Cognitive Performance categories These residents may be served better in a different
level of care They may be ready for assistive living or admission into your
domiciliary They may be ready for discharge home with home health
services
Things to consider2
You can determine the residents’ discharge goal by the coding in Section Q
QM REPORTS
What is a QM?
Quality Measure One method for determining the quality of
care in a nursing home is through the use of Quality Measures
What is a QM2
Quality Measures are derived from resident assessment data (RAI/MDS) routinely collected on the residents at specified intervals during their stay
Measures are valid and reliable - based on the best research currently available
What is a QM3?
Measures are not intended to be benchmarks, thresholds, guidelines, or standards of care Rather,
They are markers for facility trending and comparison
Allows facilities to monitor progress over time They are pointers to potential problem areas/areas
of possible weakness
The SVHs will be receiving from the VA the Annual survey process report (also called Surveyors Report). It contains all of the quality measures plus the addition of 4 immunization measures.
Short Stay vs. Long Stay
Short Stay Quality Measures: Include all residents in an episode whose
cumulative days in the facility is less than or equal to 100 days at the end of the target period
Long Stay Quality Measures: Include all residents in an episode whose
cumulative days in the facility is greater than or equal to 101 days at the end of the target period
Short Stay Measures
Percent of Residents who Self-Report Moderate to Severe Pain
Percent of Residents with Pressure Ulcers that are New or Worsened
Percent of Short-Stay Residents Who Newly Received an Antipsychotic Medication
Percent of Residents who were Assessed and Appropriately Given the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine
Percent of Residents Assessed and Appropriately Given the Pneumococcal Vaccine
Long Stay Measures1
Prevalence of Falls Percent of Residents Experiencing One or
More Falls with Major Injury Percent of Residents who Self-Report
Moderate to Severe Pain Percent of High-Risk Residents with Pressure
Ulcers Percent of Long-stay Residents with a Urinary
Tract Infection
Long Stay Measures2
Percent of Low-Risk Residents Who Lose Control of their Bowels or Bladder
Residents Who Have/Had a Catheter Inserted and Left in Their Bladder
Percent of Residents Who Were Physically Restrained
Percent of Residents Whose Need for Help with Activities of Daily Living Has Increased
Long Stay Measures3
Percent of Long-stay Residents Who Lose Too Much Weight
Percent of Residents Who have Depressive Symptoms
Prevalence of Antianxiety/Hypnotic Use Percent of Long-Stay Residents Who Received
An Antipsychotic Medication
Long Stay Measures4
Prevalence of Behavior Symptoms Affecting Others
