Description

To help ensure that nursing home residents receive quality care, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), defines quality standards that nursing homes must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. To monitor compliance with these standards, CMS enters into agreements with state survey agencies to conduct on-site surveys of the stateäó»s homes and also collects other data on nursing home quality. This report examines (1) the extent to which reported nursing home quality has changed in recent years and the factors that may have affected any observed changes; and (2) how CMS oversight activities have changed in recent years. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
