Now Available: MDS Section Q Webinar Recording and Handouts

Posted on October 23, 2018 by Jeff Bostic

The Minnesota Board on Aging and Minnesota Department of Health hosted a free webinar last week on how section Q of the MDS is used to target state resources towards assisting those nursing home residents who wish to return to a community setting. The webinar and handouts are now available for members to download.

The webinar covered such questions as:

• How do I complete MDS Section Q when the person has dementia?
• What happens when I indicate I need to make a referral to the Local Contact Agency?
• Who is the Local Contact Agency and does a referral automatically get made to them?
• How is Senior LinkAge Line® involved?
• What if the county is already working with the resident to go home?
• How do I explain to the resident why I’m asking these questions?
• What should the resident expect when I make a referral?

The handouts are available here and a recording of the webinar can be downloaded here.
