New SDOH Items Rolling Out in the MDS on 10/1/25
“R” you ready for new SDOH items rolling out in the MDS on 10/1?
Many new social determinants of health (SDOH) items were added to Section R in the draft MDS version 1.20.1, with the potential for additional items to be included. Celtic’s Founder and CEO, Maureen McCarthy, spoke with the American Association of Post Acute Care Nursing (AAPACN), exploring how these changes will impact MDS processes and why NACs and DNSs should start teaming up now to prepare their communication systems for smooth implementation.
With the October 2025 rollout ahead, having the right support can make all the difference. Celtic Consulting’s team is made up of experienced RNs who know the MDS inside and out. Our associates have hands-on experience as former MDS Coordinators and are pros at improving documentation, enhancing assessment accuracy, and boosting efficiency.
