MDS nurses are responsible for collecting integral data and compiling it into a thorough report for further research at their facility. A bachelor's degree from an accredited nursing college is required.

The objective of MDS coordinators is to promote the physical and emotional wellbeing of nursing facility residents. They use a Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) to gather information from residents and their families during initial and periodic interviews. The MDS covers such areas as the patient's mood, behavior patterns, cognitive ability, and nutrition needs.

Information from these assessments helps caretakers formulate individualized care plans that include support from social services, dieticians, rehab specialists, and medical staff. MDS coordinators then implement and monitor these care plans to ensure their effectiveness. They must also make sure all strategies comply with Medicare and Medicaid requirements and ethical standards. An MDS nurse is the main communicator between the insurance professionals and management officials at their facility.
