MDS Submission

The MDS Submission process ensures that you submit complete, error-free MDS records.

The printed Chart Copy must match the electronic MDS record to be submitted.
If you change an MDS after you print it, the System verifies that you print the changed pages.
Comprehensive assessments must include the required Care Area Assessment (Section V).
The MDS Selection process automatically selects MDS records completed through a specific date. You can also select individual MDS records.
The MDS 14-day Alert identifies unsubmitted MDS records nearing the 14-day submission deadline.

When necessary, you can Modify or Inactivate submitted records and submit Modified records according to CMS regulations.
