Virtual
Description
This is the fourth session in a five-part webinar series hosted in partnership with Proactive LTC Consultants.
The Five-StaQuality Rating System was created by CMS in 2009 to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes. With the updates to MDS 3.0 on 10/1/2023, including the removal of section G of the MDS, both the staff and quality measure domains have significant revisions that could impact the facility’s overall star rating. Many of the Quality Measures that are utilized in the Five Star Rating system were calculated based either directly or indirectly through risk adjustments on data from Section G. The Quality Measure domain will be undergoing a significant overhaul with this change over. This course will provide an overview of the impact of these changes.
Objectives
- Participants will articulate an understanding of key changes to how the Five Star rating is calculated.
- Participant will identify critical implications for the facility overall star rating based on the changes to the staffing and QM domains.
- Participants will discuss strategies to improvement coding functional status and avoid functional declines that impact quality outcomes in the SNF.
