The MDS contains items that measure physical, psychological and psycho-social functioning characteristics of the resident. See the Chapter 3 of CMS’s RAI Version 2.0 Manual for a description of the data elements collected in the MDS. Note, not all assessment types collect the same data. For example, questions relating to a living will or back pain are only reported on full assessments, not on quarterly assessments.
