- Easy on the eyes: When you start the pre-screening process, you can choose
to see Consistency Checks, Audit Checks or both. This will reduce the size of the
pre-screening reports and help you focus in on the information you want to review.
- No more false alarms: Audit Checks have been enhanced to trigger only if
the secondary factor actually exists.
- Taming DAVE: Audit Checks 7, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 28 and 30 are all among
the items identified by DAVE reviewers as important to check. These items are flagged
with a blue "DAVE" flag. Special attention can be focused to be certain that these
items are coded correctly in the MDS and properly documented and justified in the
chart.
- Keeping up with DAVE: Link to the CMS DAVE website. Just click on the DAVE
link on the Pre-Screening page. Be sure to check out the DAVE Tip Sheet.

how long the password has been in use,
- Forcing all users to change their password on the next login if they have not changed
it in a "user defined" number of days, and

- A Password Change item will appear on the menu for authorized users ? detailed instructions
to follow.
** MDS Due Roster has been enhanced to show each individual user's last login to
