CMS Announcement on Adding Staffing Measure to Care Compare Website
Three staff turnover and two weekend staffing measures have been added to Care Compare (formerly Nursing Home Compare).
The NEW Staff Turnover Measures include:
- The percentage of RN staff that left the facility over the last year.
- The percentage of total nursing staff that have left the facility over the last year.
- The number of administrators that have left the facility over the last year.
NEW Weekend Staffing Measures include:
- Weekend Total Nurse (RN, LPN, & Aide) hours per resident day (HPRD).
- Weekend RN HPRD.
All measures are derived from Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) data. Full measure details can be found in the Five-Star Technical User’s Manual. The data below summarizes the national average.
Measures & National Averages:
- RN Turnover (Percent) = 49.8%
- Total Nurse Turnover (Percent) = 51.6%
- Administrator Turnover (Count) = 1.1
- Weekend Total Nurse HPRD = 3.26
- Weekend RN HPRD = 0.48
As outlined in QSO memo 22-08-NH from earlier this year, these five measures will be factored into Five-Star in July 2022 and updated quarterly with very new PBJ data release. To ensure the most correct turnover data is used in Five-Star by July 2022, members must link employee identifiers. More information is available in this CMS FAQ on linking employee identifiers.
