Lisa Morell Lisa Morell, LPN, RAI-C

Owner/Founder

Lisa Morell LPN, RAI-C, is an MDS Coordinator in Bridgeport, Connecticut with over 30 years experience in the Long Term Care industry and has held the position of Charge Nurse, Wound Care, and MDS Coordinator for various facilities. While learning the MDS Process and becoming certified, she became aware of the lack of locally available resources, others willing to share their knowledge, and facilities not offering support or ongoing training.

SOCOMDS was the end result with the goal to bring together a place where Coordinators and all disciplines involved in the MDS process can network and share information with each other.

The Long Term Care Industry, as well as all healthcare sectors, faces continual challenges and changes. Proper coding of each MDS item—as defined by the RAI manual (Resident Assessment Instrument)—ensures accurate and reliable results. Clinicians must obtain, follow, and implement new definitions and guidelines as they become available. SOCOMDS is Connecticut’s central web resource providing:

  • National regulatory, clinical practice and research information, and timely updates
  • A forum for open discussion for MDS Coordinators, clinicians, and management staff
  • State specific industry news and regulatory changes
  • Assessment tools and educational opportunities
    • designed to easily find industry facts, programs, news or advice
    • optimize your quality of care and enhance financial outcomes
    • foster understanding, measurement, and improvement of clinical care in one easy to use and search format
