Posted on July 10, 2018 by Julie Apold

Are you looking for ways to boost your organization’s performance or 5-Star rating? Quality Apex is an affordable, secure, web-based analytics tool that translates your most current MDS 3.0 data into actionable information to improve quality and outcomes. 

Quality Apex comes to you from the team that developed the 5-Star Analysis Report and Quality Metrics. The knowledge, accuracy and power provided by the tool will enable your staff to:

• Measure Quality Metrics (QM) rates based on your recent MDS 3.0 data;
• Analyze performance against user-defined goals;
• Identify areas for improvement using dashboards and drill-down capability; and
• Report quality improvement plans and accuracy.

Other features include:

Easy to Use: Quality Apex uses your current MDS 3.0 data, which means there is no additional tracking and inputting required by your staff to access these resources. 

Accuracy: The scrubbing feature in Quality Apex helps with clinical accuracy of MDS data that you submit to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Timely: While public data is delayed 4-6 months, Quality Apex is based on your most current MDS 3.0 data upload and offers the greatest chance for successful care planning, reimbursement and quality outcomes.

Power: Quality Apex shows your organization where you need to improve to receive or maintain your highest 5-Star rating by drilling down to resident level detail and supports your QAPI projects by ensuring that staff are on the same page and that improvements are sustained.

Affordable: The annual subscription is $850 for LeadingAge members and $1250 for non-members.

In the evolving healthcare marketplace where reimbursement systems are based on a deepening connection between quality and outcomes, data is power. Quality Apex is the right tool to help you analyze your performance, show you where you need to improve and compare your outcomes with other nursing homes.
