How do quality performance, RAI/MDS 3.0, and nursing homes compare data related to regulatory compliance? Do you think focusing on high quality of care outcomes will improve your regulatory and survey performance?
Sample Solution
Quality performance and RAI/MDS 3.0 data are used by nursing homes to measure regulatory compliance. Quality performance, or the quality of care outcomes that a facility is able to produce, can be measured by analyzing the RAI/MDS 3.0 data collected from residents in the nursing home. This data is used to identify areas for improvement as well as areas of excellence, enabling a facility to determine what changes need to be made in order to meet standards and regulations set forth by various governing bodies such as CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services). By focusing on high quality of care outcomes and using this information to inform decision-making at all levels within a facility, it is possible that overall survey performance can improve due to increased focus on meeting and exceeding necessary standards for safety and care provided.
