MDS 3.0 Training Information for the October 1, 2010 Implementation

What's New

August 12, 2010: Under the Downloads section of this page the following revised training materials are now available:

  • Please Note: A new naming convention is now being used for the MDS 3.0 RAI Manual.
    • Any sections or chapters that have had revisions will now have an updated version number along with the month and year that the information was revised (e.g. MDS 3.0 Chapter 4 V1.03 August 2010). Subsequent revisions of any section or chapter of the manual will have updated version numbers (e.g. V1.04, V1.05, etc…)
    • Any sections or chapters that have NOT been revised will have the same version number, month, and year that that version was last published (e.g. MDS 3.0 RAI Manual Chapter 3 Section A V1.02 July 2010). However, you will notice that the "day" has been dropped from the file name now that we do not have frequent updates to the manual.
    • Any changes from the previous version of all Chapter 3 Sections are now listed at the beginning of each respective section.
  • MDS 3.0 RAI Manual Chapter 4 has been reposted and is available for download below in the file labeled "MDS 3.0 RAI Manual August 2010."
