What You'll Do

  • Coordinate and complete the MDS/RAI process in accordance with regulatory requirements.
  • Complete initial, quarterly, annual, and other required resident assessments.
  • Review clinical documentation to ensure accuracy, compliance, and appropriate reimbursement.
  • Complete, lock, and transmit MDS assessments as required.
  • Participate in care planning, clinical meetings, and triple-check meetings.
  • Collaborate with nursing, therapy, dietary, social services, and other interdisciplinary team members.
  • Identify changes in resident condition and communicate concerns and recommendations to the appropriate clinical leaders.
  • Review staff documentation and provide education to ensure compliance with regulatory and reimbursement requirements.
  • Educate the care team on MDS processes and documentation.
  • Participate in surveys, inspections, and plans of correction as needed.
  • Ensure documentation appropriately supports resident care and reimbursement.

What We're Looking For

  • Current RN or LPN license in good standing with the Maryland Board of Nursing.
  • 3+ years of MDS experience in a skilled nursing/long-term care setting.
  • Strong knowledge of the MDS/RAI process and clinical documentation requirements.
  • Current AHA Healthcare Provider BLS certification.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with an interdisciplinary team.
  • RAC-CT certification is not required at hire, but willingness to obtain it is expected.

This is an onsite position with no on-call requirement. The ideal candidate will have the experience and confidence to hit the ground running rather than needing extensive MDS training.
