Welcome
Join the more than 9,600 nursing homes who use STAR to help continually improve
the quality of care they provide to their residents. The STAR site is a Web
based tool that provides methods to set improvement targets, compare to national
benchmarks, and track performance goals for six quality measures:
- Physical restraints
- High-risk pressure ulcers
- Depression
- Chronic care pain
- Post-acute care pain
- Post-acute care pressure ulcers
Login to your existing account or register using your Medicare/Medicaid provider number.
STAR registration is free and available to all Medicare- and/or Medicaid
certified nursing homes. For instructions and other electronic resources, please
click on Help.
Did you know that setting STAR targets fulfills one of the eight Advancing
Excellence Campaign goals? Visit www.nhqualitycampaign.org
to learn more about the Campaign--and then sign up, so that your STAR targets
can count towards your participation.
STAR was developed by quality
improvement organizations (QIOs) under contract to the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). As QIOs, we believe that achieving high
quality is an on-going process. Our goal is to provide the tools and information
you need to improve the quality of your services. We encourage you to raise the
bar for quality by continually reevaluating your quality of care and identifying
areas for improvement.
Note: This site is for your nursing
home's internal use; as a result, your registration on this site is completely
confidential. Your facility's name and targets will not be shared with state
survey and certification agencies. CMS will only view aggregate or de-identified
data.
