“The primary goal in launching this rating system is to provide residents and their families with an easy way to understand assessment of nursing home quality, making meaningful distinctions between high and low performing nursing homes.”

CMS’ Five-Star Program
The rating system features an overall Five-Star rating based on facility performance for three types of performance measures: Health Inspection Staffing Quality Measures

The rating system has been available to the public on CMS website Nursing Home Compare since December 18, 2008

Five-Star does nothing to match the right person to the right SNF
All SNFs are not the same• De facto specialty care centers• Acute Medical/Rehab• Alzheimer's/Cognitive Impairment• Mental Health• End of Life/Frail Elders
All consumers coming into a SNF are not the same• Some are patients and will be going
home• Some are residents and will not• All have unique needs

Five-Star Uses (and Abuses) are Far Ranging
Intended Uses
• Consumer placement• Consumer monitoring

Unintended Uses• APM (ACOs, Bundles)• HUD• Commercial payers• Plaintiff Attorney• REITs

APM: What is a Three-Day Requirement & Waiver?
Requirement:Qualifying inpatient hospital stay of 3 consecutive days (midnights) or more (plus additional criteria)
Waiver:For eligible programs, CMS will waive the requirement for a 3-day inpatient hospital stay prior to a Medicare-covered, post-hospital extended care service for eligible beneficiaries

A Waiver is a good thing
21
For the ACO/Bundle it means the possibility of transitioning patient to lower cost center (the SNF)
For the SNF, it means a potentially better referral stream of higher acuity residents
The “spill over effect” – a hospital discharge planner knows what she knows… other FFS patients may turn up in same hospital to SNF stream
So how do you get one?

22
Who Gets a Three Day Waiver?
• SNF must have a 3 or better Overall Star Rating• ACO Track +1, Track 3 and Next Gen• Bundles: For Model 2/Model 3 participants
…but there is always a catch!

PBJ Staffing Data: Key Differences to Keep in Mind• Salaried workers that pick up additional shifts will not have those hours counted, unless
paid a “bonus” for those hours• If an employee performs multiple job functions, code them to primary function• Focus is on auditable data that can be verified• Hours paid for services performed onsite, not including lunch, sick leave, vacation• Corporate staff can be counted in some instances but must be auditable• Contract/agency staff must be reported• Census is calculated by MDS – essential that discharge assessments be completed
