Design for Nursing Home Compare Five-Star Quality Rating System: Technical Users Guide July 2020 July 2020 Revisions: Temporary Changes due to COVID-19 Staffing Rating Changes: Under the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration Blanket Waivers for Health Care Providers, CMS waived the requirements at 42 CFR (q), which required nursing home providers to submit staffing data through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) system. Because of the waiver, many facilities did not submit staffing data by the May 15, 2020 deadline, and thus, CMS will not be able to update the PBJ staffing measures and staffing domain star ratings at the next regularly scheduled update in July 2020. Therefore, staffing measures and ratings will be held constant and based on data submitted for October December 2019. In addition, CMS recognizes that the waiver of the requirement prevented some facilities from improving their rating from their previous quarter s submission.
Dec 31, 2019 · Minimum Data Set, Version 3.0 (MDS 3.0) assessments, and are case-mix adjusted based on the distribution of MDS 3.0 assessments by Resource Utilization Groups, version IV (RUG-IV group). In addition to the overall staffing rating, a separate rating for RN staffing is also reported. •
