+1.3
CMS star rating
Average improvement by the following rating cycle. Quality measures move when pain is actually assessed and treated, when function is documented, and when avoidable transfers stop.
Outcomes
What on-site physiatry and pain rounds have changed
Measured across covered skilled nursing facilities against each building's own baseline before coverage began.
What changed in covered buildings
36.7%
Fewer send-outs
Reduction in transfers out of the building for pain and musculoskeletal complaints. A physician in the building on a standing cadence is the difference between a consult and an ambulance.
68.7%
Resident satisfaction
Improvement in resident-reported satisfaction with how their pain is addressed. Families repeat this one and reviewers read it.
Figures are averages across covered facilities and are not a guarantee of results in any individual building. Baselines, case mix and starting rating all affect what a facility should expect; we will walk through the underlying measures with you before you commit to anything.
Why these move together
Untreated pain shows up as refused therapy, as falls, as behavior, and as a 2:00 a.m. transfer. Treating it on site with a physician-led team addresses the quality measure and the resident at the same time, and the documentation that results is what your MDS and survey readiness depend on.
We are glad to review your current quality measure profile and say plainly where coverage would and would not help.
