Course Description:
The Five-Star Quality 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.
