Publicly reported CMS quality measures for QRP, VBP , and Five Star all follow the patient outside your four walls, and so should you. Long gone are the days where the only measures shared on Nursing Home Compare were based solely on the period the resident was under your direct care. Key to success across these programs is understanding what happens to your patients after you’ve discharged them into the community or another care setting. Join us for a refresher on how these programs work, how the industry performed in 2019, and how you can ensure future success.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe how quality measures used in QRP, VBP, and Five-Star translate into summary performance scores and ultimately financial success.
• Articulate how in recent years CMS has focused on quality measures that follow the patient outside of the four walls of the SNF.
• Identify strategies that will allow for improvement in key measures across the programs.
