Abstract
The Resident Assessment Instrument/Minimum Data Set (RAI/MDS) is the foundational clinical framework for nursing home care, functioning as both a clinical assessment instrument and an assessment process. An RN is mandated by statute to complete or coordinate the work associated with this framework. Using both focus groups and questionnaires, 24 RN MDS coordinators attending a national conference for MDS coordinators described their work in its organizational context. Shortell et al.'s continuous quality framework of structural, technical, cultural, and strategic organizational dimensions was used to categorize descriptive themes. Clinical implications of the study findings are summarized.
