QTSO Alert Memo, 11-11-16: MDS 3.0 ASAP Issue for NO and SO Assessment Records

  • An issue has been identified with MDS 3.0 assessment records submitted to the ASAP system beginning October 1, 2016, through November 4, 2016 that impacts all NO and SO (Nursing Home and Swing Bed OMRA) assessment records with a target date on or after October 1, 2016. This issue involves submitted MDS response values for M0300B1, M0300C1, M0300D1, and M0300F1 for NO and SO assessment records. The submitted response values were not stored in the ASAP system and therefore were excluded from validation and RUG calculations.
  • All providers who submitted MDS NO and SO assessment records on or after October 1st through November 4th, with a target date of October 1, 2016 or after, must submit a modification record to the ASAP system. No changes are required in this modification record.  Providers may not submit the original record a second time as it will be rejected as a duplicate record if it was accepted into the ASAP system in the original submission. Submission of the modification record will allow the ASAP system to correctly recalculate the RUG value and have accurate data stored for reporting purposes.
