Care Compare: What’s New in CMS Quality Measurement?
March 15, 2022 | 1:00 – 2:30 pm

In the past few years, CMS has introduced many new ways of publicly reporting our data:  MDS, Medicare claims, NHSN, and PBJ. Before we can improve something, it must be measured. Before we can see improvement in the data, we have to understand the data. This seminar will help in understanding the data.

The Five Star Rating System is used by the public, key referring entities, lending institutions, potential buyers, and CMS in many ways. This webinar will explain the myriad ways you are assigned a star rating in various categories and how it comes together for an overall quality rating.
