Video on Interviewing Vulnerable Elders (VIVE)

The systematic inclusion of resident voice through specific direct interviews represents an enormous advance in the new Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS 3.0). The Video on Interviewing Vulnerable Elders (VIVE) demonstrates best practice approaches for implementing the new MDS interviews for cognition, mood, preferences and pain. Specific video sections address the reason interviews have been added, techniques to improve communication with older, frail populations, and demonstration of each interview being conducted. Using real life nurses interacting in scenarios based on actual situations, VIVE helps to build understanding and ease implementation of MDS 3.0 for nursing home staff members. The goal of VIVE, funded by the Picker Institute and developed by the UCLA/Jewish Home Borun Center, is to help staff members build the confidence and skills they need to interview their residents both for MDS 3.0 and for other clinical evaluations.
