Download the complete audio recording of the webinar titled "Quality Measures and the Five Star Quality Rating System".
Quality measures are used by the surveyors to determine many aspects of the annual licensure and certification survey. They are also used in the PA quality improvement program as well as being a part of the 5-star quality rating program. Managed care payors require a specific 5-star rating prior to contracting with a provider. The information related to the 5-star quality rating is included on the internet in the Care Compare Medicare website for consumers and other providers to
review. Nurse leaders need to have the knowledge of the quality measures and Five Star Quality Rating system to know what they can do and educate their team members to know for a positive impact on the measures and rating system. This session will assist nurse leaders to recognize how the Care Compare Five Star Rating is calculated, with overview of the three components of the Five Star Rating (Survey, Staffing, and Quality Measures). The session will also review the impact quality measures have on the 5 Star Rating and outline how the Quality Measures are calculated, and how to monitor and manage the measures.
