Introduction to a new podcast series: Long-Term Care quality improvement and clinical programming. In the next 5 episodes, we will navigate the new Care Compare website and analyze Nursing Home Compare 5 star quality measures specific to long-stay residents. We will discuss CMI and what your weighted Case Mix Index means, how it differs by state, and how to analyze monthly CMI trends to address LTC patient needs. The final 2 episodes in this series will be dedicated to LTC patient identification using an interdisciplinary Grand Rounds process and LTC clinical programs to consider in-room and in a COVID safe group setting.
