MDS System-Generated Final Validation Reports Available in Text and XML Format

CASPER now shows 2 Final Validation report links in the provider’s validation report folder for each successfully processed submission file. Nursing home and swing bed users should select the final validation report name link that displays adjacent to the green notebook icon to view the validation report in the text format to which they are accustomed. The new XML formatted report is easily identified by the ‘XML’ reference on the icon and is used by software vendors that develop MDS 3.0 data entry software.
