The MDS 3.0 Facility and Resident Quality Measure Preview reports are available in your facility’s shared folder. These reports are similar to the MDS 2.0 Facility and Resident Quality Measure Preview reports, but have been updated to contain the new MDS 3.0 Quality Measures.
The MDS 3.0 Facility Preview report displays the quarterly numerator, denominator and reported percent values for each of the publicly reported MDS 3.0 quality measures. This report will contain quality measure data for the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2011. The preview report allows the provider to see their measure percent values prior to being posted on the Nursing Home Compare website.
The MDS 3.0 Resident Preview report displays the list of residents who triggered one or more of the publicly reported MDS 3.0 Quality Measures. For the Influenza or Pneumococcal vaccination measures, only residents who did not receive the vaccinations are listed. The information from this report is not publicly reported and is for use by the provider only.
To access these reports, select the CASPER Reporting link located at the top of your MDS State Welcome page. Once in the CASPER Reporting system, select the ‘Folders’ button and access the MDS 3.0 Preview Reports in your ‘st LTC facid’ folder, where ‘st’ is the 2-character postal code of the state in which your facility is located and ‘facid’ is the state-assigned Facility ID of your facility.
These reports are not the same as the Five Star Facility Preview reports. Any questions about the MDS 3.0 Facility and Resident Quality Measure Preview Reports should be directed to the QIES Help Desk at help@qtso.com or 1 (800) 339-9313.
