Nursing Home Staffing Measures Transitioning to PBJ Data
Nursing Home Staffing Measures Transitioning to PBJ Data
As has been the case prior to this transition, Nursing Home Compare will display the number of hours per resident per day for RNs, LPNs, Aides, and physical therapists (PTs), while the 5-Star staffing rating will continue to be based solely on nursing staff. CMS will continue to calculate the staffing rating by combining a total nursing staffing rating (RN, LPN, Aide) with an RN rating. However, CMS is changing the way in which they adjust the staffing measures to reflect resident acuity.
