Hi-Tech Software wants you to be aware of two October 1 deadlines that will affect your ability to complete and submit the MDS 3.0.
 
CMS to End Support for IE Version 8 and Lower

As of October 1, 2014 CMS will no longer support the use of   Internet Explorer (IE) browser version 8 and lower.  

 

CMS web applications will reject logon access from computers running browsers IE 8 or lower. This restriction will also apply to all CMS WebEx training and online meeting events.  

 

Windows XP systems will be rejected because they do not support IE versions higher than 8. Microsoft ended support for Windows XP in April 2014.  

 

If you access CMS web applications such as CASPER Reporting and MDS 3.0 Submissions or participate in CMS WebEx sessions, your computers meet the recommended requirements, provided here: https://www.qtso.com/download/Providers_technical_aspects.pdf.

 

Find additional information at https://www.qtso.com/.  

 

Contact the QIES Help Desk at 800-339-9313 or help@qtso.com if you have any questions.   

MDS 3.0 Changes Coming October 1, 2014
Effective October 1 you must begin using Version 1.12.0 of the MDS 3.0 for Assessment Reference Dates (ARD) on or after October 1.

In September Hi-Tech Software will provide our clients with the necessary MDS 3.0 program changes. Our software update will allow you to:
  • Enter, update, print and submit MDS 3.0 Version 1.11.2 for ARDs before 10/1/14.
  • Enter, update, print and submit MDS 3.0 Version 1.12.0 for ARDs on or after 10/1/14.
On September 5, you can preview these changes via our blog, The Hi-Tech Hi-Lights ~ Sharing and Care with You. We will describe the changes and provide before-and-after images of the items on the form that will be changed.
