Finally, staffing ratings are no longer being suppressed for nursing homes that have five or more days with residents and no nurse staffing hours reported. (Tables 1 and 2)Īdditionally, the overall and RN staffing ratings are set to one star for nursing homes that report four or more days in the quarter with no RN onsite or when nursing homes fail to submit any staffing data before the deadline. Changes were made to provide more emphasis on RN staffing. Staffing Domain: The staffing rating thresholds were changed, with the staffing level required to receive a 5-star rating determined based on analyses of the relationship between staffing levels and measures of nursing home quality. Specifically, results from the three (instead of two) most recent standard health inspections and 36 months of complaint inspections are used to calculate the health inspection score and determine the health inspection rating. Health Inspection Domain : The rating methodology for the health inspection rating returned to what it was prior to February 2018. The following is a brief summary of the recent changes in all three domains. In April 2019, several changes were made to the Nursing Home Compare website and the Five-Star QRS. The nursing facilities and medical directors need to stay up-to-date with all the changes in the 5-star QRS. Over the years, CMS has updated and enhanced the five-star QRS methodology numerous times to improve the accuracy of the rating system.
