Getting a comprehensive picture of how quality measures function and affect your facility is integral into any Five-Star efforts. Unfortunately, as anyone who has read through it knows, finding exactly what information you need from CMS' extensive QM Manual can be a time-consuming activity. If you're looking to get (and keep) a Five-Star rating, you'll want a copy of Long-Term Care Quality Measures: A Guide to Data Analysis, Performance Improvement, and Public Reporting. With this resource and included downloadable tools, you'll have access to a QM crosswalk which will help you navigate to information on each QM within seconds and understand how each measure will affect the facility’s star rating, survey compliance, or Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement. This book also provides a thorough drilldown of each QM, complete with detailed explanations of each measure’s description, including numerator, denominator, and the facility’s and surveyor’s perspectives. |
