The first day of training addresses each of the tables with an emphasis on the changes that have been made to many of the tables. This will include a review of the new clinical measures tables (Table 6B and 7) but in less depth than was provided this summer. Training will focus on definitions of data elements, locating and reporting these elements, and common errors and problems to be avoided. Preparing the 2008 UDS Report is aimed at those who are responsible for gathering and reporting the data elements included in the UDS report, as well as for management staff who need to understand the definitions and concepts used.
Debra Oleson will provide a live demonstration of the Bureaus new UDS software which is being integrated into the Electronic Handbook for the first time. This session will include the new software changes as well as a detailed review of the UDS Feedback Reports. It includes both an interactive lecture with supportive materials and a small group exercise to permit the participants to try out the tools being described. Using the UDS as a Management Tool is useful to those submitting the reports, and is especially useful to senior management and decision making staff of the center.
