It’s resolution season, and this year we’re resolving to make the long-stay antipsychotic quality measure (QM) make sense! The 2026 re-specifications bring a new hybrid approach that blends MDS data with Medicare and Medicaid claims/encounter data. Join AAPACN Senior Curriculum Development Specialist, Jessie McGill, RN, BSN, RAC-MT, RAC-MTA, during this 60-minute webinar, as she breaks down complex specifications, defines the new exclusion and pre-admission windows, and demonstrates exactly how residents will trigger the QM, or be excluded appropriately. She’ll also review how this updated QM affects the Five-Star calculations, and what that means for your facility’s public rating. Step into the New Year with the know-how to apply this updated QM accurately and confidently.
After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:
- Recognize how claims, encounter data, and MDS data are used for a resident to trigger in the long-stay antipsychotic measure
- Define the new look-back windows used for exclusion criteria
- Explain how the new measure will affect Five-Star and the facility’s public reporting
