Nursing Home STAR Web Site
Setting Targets-Achieving Results

High-quality nursing home care begins with targets--your vision for the future. The STAR initiative is a nationwide program to help you set targets for four quality measures (QMs):

• High-risk pressure ulcers

• Physical restraints

• Depression

• Chronic care pain

Using the STAR Web site, you can:

• View your nursing home's quality measure trend reports.

• Compare your nursing home's performance to your state and national peers.

• Select confidential performance-based targets.

• Track your nursing home's achievement of targets over time.

To learn more, visit the STAR Web site at www.nhqi-star.org, or contact Joe Bestic, NHA, BA, at jbestic@azqio.sdps.org or 602.745.6205.
