Improve Outcomes

A simpler way to improve outcomes

Diagnosis

The public has never been more informed about the quality of care provided in today's LTC facilities. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Quality Measures and the Nursing Home Compare initiative have significantly increased the LTC consumers' knowledge. Now, consumers have access to information regarding residents' key outcome measures and state inspection survey results, which allows them to compare a facility's performance to state and national averages.

Substandard performance can lead to:

• Challenges in maintaining census and attracting new residents.
• Adverse publicity and loss of community credibility.
• Intensified regulatory and financial risks along with increased enforcement activities, paperwork and fines.
