Staffing Data Submission
Long term care facilities will be required to electronically submit staffing information based on payroll to CMS beginning July 1, 2016. CMS will use the data to monitor staffing levels and employee turnover and tenure, which can impact the quality of care delivered.
Facility staffing information will be posted on the CMS Nursing Home Compare website used in the Nursing Home Five Star Quality Rating System.
Home Health Compare to Get Star Rating
A new star rating will be added to the Home Health Compare site, CMS announced.
The new rating measure will be a summary of some of the current provider performance measures the site already offers.
CMS shared its plans for the Home Health Compare Star Ratings at Open Door Forums in December 2014 and February 2015, and asked for comments and suggestions from stakeholders.
Recordings and transcripts from stakeholder calls can be accessed on the CMS Special Open Door Forums page.
