STAFFING DATA CMS NURSING HOME COMPARE CODE

On June 25, 2020, CMS announced that it was ending that waiver, effective with the second calendar quarter 2020 (April –June 2020), although staffing information publicly reported on Nursing Home Compare (now Care Compare) would continue to be held constant and to report data for the fourth calendar quarter 2019 (October-December 2019). In March 2020, as part of the Blanket Waivers for Health Care Providers, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) waived the requirement that nursing facilities report staffing data, using the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) system. More recent staffing data continue to show that CareRite facilities in Nashville provide residents with much less care by registered nurses, compared to non-CareRite facilities. Quality measures are based largely on self-reported information and are the most inaccurate part of publicly-reported data. CareRite facilities reported higher ratings only in the quality measure domain than non-CareRite facilities. As of November 15, 2020, CareRite’s Nashville facilities reported almost double the number of COVID-19 cases per 1000 residents, compared to non-CareRite facilities.Īs shown in the below chart, as reported on Nursing Home Compare (data not updated since March 2020),the five CareRite facilities in the Nashville area have lower overall star ratings, lower health inspection ratings, and considerably lower staffing ratings than the 26 non-CareRite facilities. Recognizing that larger facilities may be more likely than smaller facilities to have COVID-19 infections and that CareRite’s facilities are generally larger than other facilities, the Center controls for facility size by showing below total coronavirus cases and deaths per 1000 residents for CareRite and non-CareRite facilities. Prompted by Bloomberg Law’s finding that the five nursing facilities within 25 miles of Nashville, Tennessee that were operated by the New Jersey-based CareRite Centers “suffered an infection rate more than three times that of the metro area’s 26 other homes,” the Center for Medicare Advocacy took a closer look at the 31 nursing facilities in the Nashville area – five CareRite facilities and 26 facilities with other ownership.Ĭoronavirus cases and deaths are considerably higher in the five CareRite facilities than the other 26 Nashville-area nursing facilities, according to cumulative information self-reported by facilities and reported through Nursing Home Compare, as of November 15, 2020.ĥ CareRite and 26 Non-CareRite Facilities

Listen to Medicare & Health Care Storiesĭespite the nursing home industry’s ongoing insistence that location/zip code is the primary factor determining whether residents infected with coronavirus, evidence mounts that higher nurse staffing levels are correlated with fewer COVID-19 cases in nursing facilities.
