Description of Course:
This session unpacks CMS’s revised definition of a fall with major injury and the far-reaching implications of the October 2025 RAI Manual updates. Using real-world examples and OIG findings, participants will explore how documentation gaps have contributed to under-reporting and inaccurate Quality Measure data. The training provides practical strategies for accurate MDS coding, interdisciplinary communication, and data integrity—linking compliance directly to resident safety and quality outcomes.

Learning Outcomes:      
Clarify CMS’s Revised Definition
Explain how the October 2025 RAI Manual redefines a fall with major injury and aligns documentation expectations with OIG findings showing underreporting (43% unreported).

Strengthen Assessment and Documentation Practices
Teach nurses and IDT members how to accurately code Section J1900–J1900C, correlate chart documentation, and prevent data integrity errors that impact Quality Measures and Five-Star ratings.

Connect Falls Data to Quality and Culture
Demonstrate how improved fall documentation supports transparency, drives quality-improvement initiatives, and reshapes the facility’s safety culture—from reactive to proactive prevention.
