The Facility-Level Minimum Data Set (MDS) Frequency dataset provides information for active nursing home residents on topics, such as race/ethnicity, age, or marital status; discharge dispositions; hearing, speech, and vision; cognitive patterns; mood; functional abilities and goals; bladder and bowel; active diagnoses; health conditions; swallowing/nutritional status; oral/dental status; skin conditions; medications; special treatments, procedures, and programs; restraints and alarms; and participation in assessment and goal setting.
Note: The MDS dataset contains more records than most spreadsheet programs can handle. The use of a database or statistical software is generally required. The dataset can be filtered to a more manageable size for use in a spreadsheet program by clicking on the “View Data” button. Additional filter information can be found in the methodology, if needed.
