CMS Quality Changes Are Here – Are Your Quality Ratings Ready?
CMS just raised the bar for nursing home Quality Measures. Do you know what that means for your organization?
With the July 2026 Five-Star refresh, CMS increased the Quality Measure thresholds needed to achieve two through five stars. As a result, some nursing homes may see their Quality Measure rating change even when their actual performance has remained steady. Understanding where your organization stands—and what it will take to improve—is more important than ever.
Quality reporting isn't simply about submitting data. Leaders need to understand how measures are calculated, how performance translates into ratings, and how to use the information to identify opportunities for improvement.
Join us for Nursing Home Quality Measures and Programs for Quality Leaders, a three-part webinar series designed to help nursing home leaders strengthen that knowledge.
The series takes a practical look at:
• SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP) and Value-Based Purchasing (VBP)
• Nursing Home Quality Measures
• Five-Star Quality Rating System and changes to the Staffing Domain
You'll gain a clearer understanding of federal quality programs, how to access and interpret your reports, and how to turn your data into strategies that improve performance and resident outcomes.
The series begins August 17, with additional sessions August 19 and 20. Register for the full series or individual webinars and earn up to 3.5 CEUs.
As CMS continues to move the performance bar, knowing your numbers—and understanding what is behind them—is essential.
