CMS Issues Updated RAI Manual v 1.11

The most recent updated MDS manual with change tables can be located at the CMS MDS 3.0 web page

The following corrections were made to the RAI Manual v 1.11:

  1. The flowchart “ADL Self-Performance Algorithm,” which describes the algorithm for ADL function items in Chapter 3, Section G (page G-7), and the accompanying change table
  2. Coding examples in Chapter 3, Section O (page O-33)
  3. A change table page incorrectly transcribed from Chapter 3, Section O (page 3)

The clarifying information related to the use of the ADL algorithm in Section G, page G-7, is a reminder that the algorithm only applies if the rule of three applies for activity occurring at multiple levels.  This coding application was discussed as part of the May 2013 updates.
