Job Description

MDS Coordinator (RN)

Are you an RN looking for a Monday through Friday schedule and an opportunity to use your clinical expertise in a more administrative role?

As an MDS Coordinator (RN), you'll play a key role in resident assessment, care planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration while enjoying a daytime schedule and significantly less direct resident care than traditional bedside nursing positions.

This is an excellent opportunity for a nurse who enjoys assessment, documentation, critical thinking, and care coordination while seeking greater work-life balance.

Under the direction of the Director of Nursing, the Resident Assessment Coordinator (RAC) leads an interdisciplinary team using a core set of screening, clinical, and functional status elements that serve as the foundation of a comprehensive resident assessment. The RAC utilizes this assessment process to ensure each resident's plan of care reflects their individual needs, goals, and preferences.

The ideal candidate is a nurse with strong assessment and documentation skills who is detail-oriented, organized, and able to think critically. This individual enjoys collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and helping ensure residents receive high-quality, person-centered care.

The Details

• Coordinate the interdisciplinary assessment process for assigned residents.
• Coordinate the development and completion of Comprehensive Care Plans in accordance with company, state, and federal guidelines.

• Collaborate with nursing, therapy, dietary, social services, and other departments to support resident care and outcomes.
• Ensure assessment and documentation requirements are completed accurately and timely.
