OBJECTIVE
The participants will:– Review the Quality Measures and how they relate
to Five Star– Identify the possible actions that are within your
reach– Identify specific tasks for follow up after this
workshop
4
REVIEW OF CASPER
You know your CASPER ---focus on what to do with the results.
Three Reports available through CASPER Reporting– Facility Characteristics Report – Demographics of
residents in the facility– Facility Quality Measures Report – Average national
%, Facility Percentile– Resident Level Quality Measure Report – Grid
showing what resident triggered each of the QMs (both Active and Discharged residents)
6
Facility Quality Measures Report -2
5 most identified key measures not consistent with state average– Develop your Action Plan
8
Tools to Assist
Admission MonitorChange of ConditionWeekly Treatment AuditRounds of Care ReviewCP Meeting – Is it action oriented or reviewed?– Think out of the box or routine?
9
Tools to Assist -2
Are CAA guidelines being used analytically?– Recheck MDS before final and ??• Is the information accurate (e.g., ADL accuracy of
reporting medications, pain, psychoactive drugs)
Pain– Evaluate documentation to determine if there is
lack of observable or reported indicators of pain when resident reports moderate to severe pain (to document why pain was not “caught and addressed” while still “mild”)
10
Tools to Assist -3
Updated Behavior Management Review– Look at psychotrophic with Dementia or
Alzheimer’s – Psych Dx??
Monthly Clinical Record Review – key items = focus priorities– Look at Behavior Psychotherapeutic Drugs – Are
meds used off label – Behavior to be re-directed
11
Tools to Assist -4
Clinical protocols to prevent re: hospitalization?–What have you changed re: care & services to
prevent re-admissions?–Myocardial Infarction– Pneumonia – Heart failure – Coming – COPD
Establish either manual and/or computer reports to evaluate the items identified
12
Resident Level Quality Measures Report -2
Run reports from computer system weekly/as needed based on key QI or facility
Identify the most common triggered residents and the reasons– Look at the items that need review, with focus
towards the five star items first
13
SHORT Stay Measures
% with decrease in pain% who had moderate/severe pain*% new or worsening pressure ulcer*% received influenza vaccine% assessed or given pneumococcal vaccine% who have antipsychotic started
*Used in Five Star
14
LONG Stay Measures

residents*% who had UTI*% who lose control of bowel or bladder among
low risk residents% who had catheter inserted & left in their
bladder*
*Used in Five Star
15
LONG Stay Measures -2
% who with one or more falls with major injury*
% who physically restrained*% who lose too much weight% who need help with daily activities has
increased*% who are more depressed or anxious% received influenza vaccine
*Used in Five Star
18
Changes to CMS Five Star
Continue to use three domains– Survey Results (no change)– Staffing• new regression model results in new risk• adjusted cut point
– Quality Measures• 9 new measures• new scoring methodology with fixed cut offs
20
Changes in Quality Measures in 5 Star
New Quality Measures– 9 new measures based on MDS 3.0– Scoring sets fixed value for each quality measure
to achieve each star rating– Each measure counts equal amount toward
aggregate QM five star ranking
21
New Quality Measures Used in 5 Star
Short Stay Measures–% who had moderate/severe pain–% new or worsening pressure ulcer
Long Stay Measures–% who had moderate/severe pain–% with pressure ulcer among high-risk residents–% who had UTI–% who had catheter inserted & left in their bladder–% who with one or more falls with major injury
22
New Quality Measures Used in 5 Star -2
Long Stay Measures (cont.)–% who physically restrained–% who need help with daily activities has
increased
26
Understanding the Numerator
Can ONLY include people from the denominator group
Pay attention to how the event or disease is defined– e.g.. MDS questions 1 = rating of 3 or 4
27
Understanding the Numerator -2
Use of word “AND” or “OR” have significant meaning, e.g.–MDS question 1 = rating of 3 OR 4 OR question 2
= 1–MDS question 1 = 4 AND question 2 =1– Example:• Diabetes OR hypertension = people with either
diagnosis• Diabetes AND hypertension = people only with both
diagnoses
28
Understanding the Numerator -3
Exclusions ONLY apply to the denominator–Most of exclusions are for missing data
Pay attention to how:– the event or disease is defined, e.g. if restricted to
certain types of residents (i.e. high risk)– the time frame for inclusion is defined (short vs.
long stay)
Size of denominator (<20 residents) may excluded a facility’s results from public reporting
29
Episode Definition MDS 3.0 QMs
Episode STARTS with:– An admission entry (A0310F = [01] AND A1700 =
[1])
Episode ENDS with the earliest of the following:– A discharge assessment with return not anticipated
(A0310F = [10]), OR– A discharge assessment with return anticipated
(A0310F = [11]) but the resident did not return(A0310F = [10]) within 30 days of discharge, OR
30
Episode Definition MDS 3.0 QMs -2
Episode ENDS with the earliest of the following (cont.)– A death in facility tracking record (A0310F =
[12]), OR– The end of the target period
31
Improving Your Quality Measures
Lower the number of residents in numerator– Identify residents who trigger quality measure you
want to lower– Conduct root cause analysis – review of each
person in numerator for opportunities to prevent• Early detection of early signs of problems• Systems of care• Availability of medical resources• Interaction with physician• Staffing awareness of policies & protocols
32
Improve Your MDS Coding
Make sure:– the Numerator MDS items are being coded
accurately–MDS items used for risk adjustment are accurate &
complete (e.g. Diabetes)– exclusions are accurate (e.g. schizophrenia)– Check on frequency of missing data for items used
in QM calculations– You complete the discharge assessment for all
residents who leave the facility

Moderate/Severe Pain(Short Stay)
Denominator– All short-stay residents except those with
exclusions.
Exclusions– pain assessment interview was not completed
(J0200=[0,-,^])– pain presence item was not completed
(J0300=[9,-,^])
36
Moderate/Severe Pain(Short Stay) -2
Exclusions (cont.)– For residents with pain or hurting at any time in
the last 5 days (J0300 = [1]) AND any of the following are true:• pain frequency item was not completed (J0400=[9,-,^]).• Neither of the pain intensity items were completed
(J0600A=[99,^, -] AND J0600B=[9,^,-]).• The numeric pain intensity item indicates no pain
(J0600A=[00])

Psychotrophic Drugs
MDS/IDT – not only a nurseCP = use of CAAMental Health EvaluationIDT Evaluation-CP (looking at alternatives not
just medication-causative factors)MD involved in CPCP interventions – Psych drugs use, side
effects, reduced doses, drug effectiveness alternatives
42
Psychotrophic Drugs -2
SMI / Behavior Reviews for all residents on the Psychiatric Medication – more intense, i.e., similar to the Treatment Review– Look at Diagnosis/SMI – Alzheimer’s or Dementia
(Notes? Assessments?)– Not a new form but focused IDT notes with
Behavior response– Alternative interventions, side effects,
hydration/nutrition, activities plan, information from the family, not just nursing responsible for the interventions
43
Behavior Review Physician Involved
Psychotherapeutic Behavior Reviews for all residents on the Medication – more intense, i.e., similar to the Treatment Review– Physician diagnosis identification if behavior
manifestation, review and identification of cond.– Not a new form but focused IDT notes with
Behavior response– Alternative interventions, side effects,
hydration/nutrition, activities plan, information from the family, not just nursing responsible for the interventions
44
QAQI
Support compliance and Five Stars – Use the total Quality Process, i.e., round, focus
high priorities = early identification of risks, evaluate food intake % over 3/5/day period?
– Frequent pain• Why? • Behavioral episodes/rounds process each shift? • Audit process?• Medical Director / other physician roles?
