Description

In 2008, in an effort to provide helpful info. to consumers and improve provider quality, the CMS developed and implemented the Five-Star Quality Rating System (5-Star System). It assigns each NH an overall rating and three component ratings -- health inspections, staffing, and quality measures -- based on the extent to which the NH meets quality standards. The rating scale ranges from one to five stars, with more stars indicating higher quality. This report examines: (1) how CMS developed and implemented the 5-Star System; (2) the circumstances under which CMS considers modifying the 5-Star System; and (3) the extent to which CMS has established plans to help it achieves its goals for the 5-Star System. Illus. This is a print on demand report.
