Quality measures, Five-Star ratings, the Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP), SNF Value-Based Purchasing Program (SNF VBP), and data validation are interconnected—not siloed. Collectively, they create an ecosystem where success or failure is shared across all components. At the center is the MDS, where even small breakdowns can ripple across performance in every quality program.
Join AAPACN Senior Curriculum Development Specialist, Jessie McGill, RN, BSN, RAC-MT, RAC-MTA, to examine how documentation, MDS coding, and clinical practices directly impact these programs. Learn what drives outcomes and how to recognize early warning signs within your facility’s quality ecosystem. This 60-minute webinar highlights the core issues that impact quality program performance, providing insight into how the system works and what to do to improve it.
After participating in this webinar, learners will be able to:
- Explain how quality measures, Five-Star ratings, SNF QRP, and SNF VBP programs are interconnected
- Identify key drivers and risk areas that influence quality measure outcomes and overall facility performance
- Recognize practical approaches to align quality, documentation, and operational processes to improve outcomes across CMS programs
