QIS Wizard

You Need QIS Confidence and We’ve Got You Covered

You deserve the chance to assess, correct and eliminate problems before the CMS surveyor arrives. This is what our QIS Wizard tool allows.

The Quality Indicator Survey, or QIS, is a two-stage CMS survey process measuring long term care facilities’ success in meeting federal quality requirements.

MDS Pro23

Learn MDS 3.0 the easy way. Your way.

Get ready for MDS 3.0 with our personal e-trainer

MDS Pro23 makes it easy for long term care facilities to prepare for the changes to the Minimum Data Set. Through more than 23 simple and interactive lessons, we give your staff the training they need to adopt MDS 3.0 with confidence – so you can turn this challenge into an opportunity for greater care.

Master the MDS changes in 4 easy steps:
  1. EDUCATE. Find out what’s new in MDS 3.0. It all starts with understanding how the new system is different. Learn who needs to be trained, how these changes affect your facility and how it can help in the long run.
  2. TRAIN. Practice with step-by-step coding instructions. Easy-to-follow coding lessons help you implement the new changes correctly and efficiently. Move at your own pace or revisit old lessons. Do it your way.
  3. APPLY. See how you perform with real-life examples. Each lesson includes case study exercises to apply your knowledge in examples of real situations – so you can feel confident when it really counts.
  4. CONFIRM. Get approved as an MDS 3.0 pro. Test your knowledge with quizzes that reinforce what you’ve learned and ensure you are properly trained and qualified to begin implementing the new changes.

Learn on your own terms

MDS Pro23 is completely web-based, which means you can train anywhere at any time. Learn on your own or together as a team. Go at your own pace or revisit completed lessons. Let new hires train at home so they're prepared before they start. And because your entire staff learns from the same program, you can rest assured that everyone is on the same page.

Knowledge is Power: Make Sure You Know About the New MDS 3.0

Knowing what changes with MDS 3.0 is the first step. MDS 3.0 is a series of scripted interviews centered around the residents’ cognition, activity, personal preferences and pain. Through these scripted interviews, you can learn about the residents’ needs and wants, which will in turn help you enhance the quality of their care.

MDS Pro23 is designed to help long term care facilities understand MDS 3.0. It provides all the training you need to prepare in 23 interactive, online lessons to improve processes and help ensure a smooth transition to the new assessment system.

We’re here to help you enhance patient care, reduce costs and streamline your operations.
