Report 2017-109: Skilled Nursing Facilities: Absent Effective State Oversight, Substandard Quality of Care Has Continued (Release Date: May 2018)
Recommendation for Legislative Action
To ensure that the State supports and encourages nursing facilities' efforts to improve their quality of care, the Legislature should modify the quality assurance fee by requiring nursing facilities to demonstrate quality-of-care improvements to receive all or some of their quality assurance fee payments. If nursing facilities do not demonstrate adequate quality-of-care improvements, Health Care Services should redistribute their quality assurance fee payments to those nursing facilities that have improved. In modifying this program, the Legislature should consider the best practices we identified and the feedback that Health Care Services receives from stakeholders.
