Quality Measures

The Quality Measure rating is based on performance of 15 of the QMs currently posted on Nursing Home Compare.

Data Source:  MDS 3.0, Traditional Medicare FFS claims data

Report Analysis:  The QM 5 Star Rating table displays the current Quality Measure 5-star rating and the previous quarter's rates (QMs are updated quarterly) to enable you to see how your ratings have changed over time.  QMs are listed in a table along with the facility rate and points obtained for each based on the QM point values (see link in report for point values). A graph displays the rate (red vertical bar) within the cut points for that particular QM point value.  The bottom cut point is to the left of the graph; the top cut point is to the right. If your rate is within or close to the red shaded area, you have a statistically greater potential for losing points.  If your rate is within or close to the green shaded area, you have a statistically greater potential for gaining points.  The potential for losing or gaining points is explained fully in the interpretation column.
