Exploring the Quality Measure Logic

Join us as we review the CMS Quality Measures and the logic behind them. We’ll define long-stay and short-stay as it applies to the measures and describe episodes and stays, look-back scans, target periods and more. Click here to register.

Understanding the Short-Stay Quality Measures for Pain and Pressure Ulcers

In this session, we will review the definitions of these two important measures, including the criteria for the numerator and denominator; the exclusions for each measure and in the case of pressure ulcers, the covariates that are used for risk adjustment. We will then generate EQUIP reports to delve deeper into these measures for use in quality improvement and care planning. Click here to register.
