GROW YOUR CARRER WHERE the QUALITY of care MATTERS

CMS Five-Star Quality Ratings -

Mean score of 53.2 (The Ensign Group, 2020)

national average score of 48.6%

Above average facility ratings are associated with superior outcomes. Lower COVID-19 incidence and mortality rates, for instance, are linked to higher rated facilities (Williams et al., 2021). 

Here are a few examples of high-quality care:

• Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) teams monitor care quality incessantly, aiming to elevate care to the next level. 

• Up-to-date, evidence-based training is developed and shared with clients based on community/facility need or upon request.

• Minimum Data Set (MDS) nurses use a data-driven health information technology platform, SimpleLTC, to track quality measures and identify trends/opportunities for ongoing improvement.
