"I have been an RN for 30 years, many of those years in a skilled nursing facility as the Director of Nursing. What was I thinking when I accepted the role, Director of Case Management (MDS nurse) with no concrete knowledge of the role? After my first two days of training, I felt like I was dropped in the middle of a Dickens novel, spoken in a foreign language. I looked like a deer caught in the headlights. After the first week, I said to Mike, “This may be a bigger undertaking than I had anticipated, and perhaps I have made a mistake in choosing to take on MDS.” He said to me, “It took me six months to even have a clue as to what I was doing when I started; you can do this!” I believed in him more than I believed in me. I followed his teachings and advice, and before my eyes, I was efficiently and effectively becoming the Director of Case Management. I began to strategize and understand clinical data and how to drive outcomes toward quality, safe care. Critical thinking in a whole new way. Who knew? Without his patience, knowledge, and support, and I truly mean support, I would have failed. Six months later, I am truly excited to support other members of the clinical team with regard to a patient's plan of care. Mike has made a difference!"

"Mike is a kind, patient, and knowledgeable trainer. I have worked with him in many roles (Admissions, Billing, Executive Director) and have learned many different aspects of the MDS. From RUGS/Levels, PDPM, and care planning, to building authorizations, Mike has trained and provided guidance through it all. With the ever-changing healthcare world, Mike has helped me and my team transition flawlessly. 5 out of 5 stars!"
