Changes to the 5-STAR Rating System – What You Should Know!

Thursday, August 4, 2022

10:30 am – 11:30 am via Zoom

Seminar Description:

Effective with the July 2022 Care Compare refresh, CMS revised the methodology for calculating the Staffing star rating. The new rating is based on six separate staffing measures. Similar to the Quality Measure (QM) rating, points are assigned based on the performance on each of these six measures. In addition, CMS revised the methodology for assigning the overall quality star rating. This virtual program will provide attendees with an update on the changes in methodology for both the staffing and the overall quality star ratings.

Objectives:

• Understand the methodology behind the calculation of the staffing star.
• Understand the methodology behind the calculation of the overall star rating.
