Correction of Errors in MDS Records That Have Been Accepted

4146.5 - Correction of Errors in MDS Records That Have Been Accepted by the Standard MDS System at the State (Rev. 1, 05-21-04) The standard MDS system in each State includes a mechanism by which facilities can electronically submit corrections to MDS data that have already been accepted into the State MDS database. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the error, corrections may include modification or inactivation of MDS records (assessments, Discharge Tracking forms and Reentry tracking forms). The MDS system provides management reports to the State that analyze the type, nature and frequency of corrections submitted by facilities to the MDS database at the State. For information about the process of correcting errors in MDS records in the State database, refer to “Correction Policy for MDS Records” in Appendix R, Part IV.
