Facility-Level Minimum Data Set Frequency

The Facility-Level Minimum Data Set (MDS) Frequency dataset provides information for active nursing home residents on topics, such as race/ethnicity, age, or marital status; discharge dispositions; hearing, speech, and vision; cognitive patterns; mood; functional abilities and goals; bladder and bowel; active diagnoses; health conditions; swallowing/nutritional status; oral/dental status; skin conditions; medications; special treatments, procedures, and programs; restraints and alarms; and participation in assessment and goal setting. This data is gathered from the resident's MDS assessment record. The MDS assessment information for each active nursing home resident is consolidated to create a profile of the most recent standard information for the resident.
