MDS Coordinator RNs are Registered Nurses who specialize in managing the Minimum Data Set (MDS) process in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes. They are responsible for assessing residents' clinical needs, ensuring accurate documentation, and coordinating care plans to comply with federal regulations. MDS Coordinators work closely with interdisciplinary teams to optimize patient outcomes and maximize reimbursement for the facility.

Many coordinators find success by developing efficient workflows and leveraging electronic health record systems.
