What happens if a facility receives four stars in Quality Measures? One star is added to the survey rating for the overall rating.

What is a recommended approach to improving a facility’s Five-Star rating over the long run? Focus efforts proactively on bottom-line care issues up front rather than chasing down problems after the fact. Assign the bulk of available resources to analyze each domain line by line, to identify possible problems after receiving each Five-Star rating update. Contact the state automation coordinator and review each component of each domain to ensure the accuracy of the information that underlies the rating. Since the ratings are retrospective, no action is required. A Special Focus Facility (SFF) that has not graduated can earn a maximum of how many stars? One stars Two stars Three stars None, no ratings are assigned Happy Valley Nursing Home has the following rating: Survey: three stars Staffing: four stars Quality Measures: one star.

Two stars Three stars Four stars Five stars What would the overall quality score be for a skilled nursing facility with the following star ratings? Health Inspection score of two stars, Quality Measures score of four stars, RN staffing of four stars, and Total Nursing staffing score of three stars. (Hint: Calculate the staffing star before calculating the overall star rating.) One star Two stars Three stars Four stars Which of the following is an effective strategy to help a facility manage its Five-Star rating? Wait for the annual survey to identify systems for improvement Continuously monitor clinical systems to foster high-quality resident care Correct facility systems when the overall Five-Star rating goes below three stars Monitor clinical systems when problem trends occur Which of the following describes the scoring for the majority of the measures in the Quality Measures (QM) domain?

Which of the following describes how points are assigned for complaint investigations in the Health Inspection domain? Points are assigned to complaint deficiencies during the last 36 months and any repeat revisits needed to verify corrections. Points are assigned based on the number of deficiencies received from the last three complaint surveys regardless of how far back in time they occurred. Points are assigned based on deficiencies from complaint investigations from the previous year.

Points are assigned based on deficiencies from complaint investigations from the previous year. Points are assigned based on deficiencies only when the complaint was substantiated and the scope and severity were indicated at the level of substandard care. How are complaint inspections weighted in the Five-Star Rating System? The most recent 12 months receive a weighting factor of 1/2, those from 13–24 months ago have a weighting factor of 1/4, and those from 25–36 months ago have a weighting factor of 1/4. The last three years of complaint inspection citations are used. They are weighted evenly. The last two years of complaint inspection citations are used. The most recent annual survey counts 1/3. The next one back counts 1/4. The most recent 12 months receive a weighting factor of 1/2, those from 13–24 months ago have a weighting factor of 1/3, and those from 25–36 months ago have a weighting factor of 1/6. Which statement about the Health Inspection scoring process is correct? All deficiencies are assigned the same number of points in the scoring process. Deficiencies with a past non-compliance status receive no additional points. Substandard quality of care results in additional assigned points only when immediate jeopardy also exists. Substandard quality of care deficiencies result in assignment of additional points to the Health Inspection score. Which of the following is true for a facility that has had only one standard survey in its history? The weight will be 100, weighted by the one standard survey. No overall quality rating is assigned; Nursing Home Compare will display “Too New to Rate.” It will be awarded an automatic five stars for the rating until the second survey is completed. The facility will undergo an extra standard survey. State survey results are used to calculate the Health Inspection star rating. Which response describes the survey(s) that are used? The most recent period is assigned a weighting factor of 60%, the previous period has a weighting factor of 30%, and the second prior period has a weighting factor of 10%. Deficiencies from the last four annual state surveys are weighted equally. The most recent survey is assigned a weighting factor of 1/2, the previous period has a weighting factor of 1/3, and the second prior period has a weighting factor of 1/6.
