Product Launch: PointRight Five-Star FastTrack Solution

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PointRight Inc., announces the launch of its new market-tested, market-validated PointRight® Five-Star FastTrack™ solution, which comes on the heels of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) recent announcement that it is implementing changes to its Five-Star Quality Rating System.

Developed with input from post-acute providers, the PointRight Five-Star FastTrack solution enables providers to use this solution to accurately determine how their facilities are performing in each of the CMS Five-Star Rating domains: Survey, Quality Measures and Staffing using the power of predictive analytics from PointRight and backed by its leading customer support team of seasoned clinicians and healthcare analytics experts.

"The PointRight Five-Star FastTrack solution gives providers exactly what they asked for: Actionable insights they need to proactively manage their Five-Star quality rating," said Steven Littlehale, Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer at PointRight. "Supporting quality initiatives with predictive analytics is crucial toward targeting improvement goals that will have the greatest impact on the Five-Star rating. With this service, providers will understand their Five-Star rating today, aim for the Five-Star rating they want in the future and easily see the steps needed to 'fast-track' their way toward achieving those goals. Providers can navigate the changes to the Five-Star Quality Rating using PointRight as their analytics-based guide."

The PointRight Five-Star FastTrack tool offers the following solutions in one, easy-to-use service:

• Easily view current Five-Star Ratings. The most current ratings will appear as well as the Special Focus Facility candidate designation.
• Find the latest publicly available survey information. Providers can see their points for each survey cycle and the overall score for their facility. They can apply "What If" functionality to see how certain criteria or citations would impact their Survey and Overall ratings. 
• Use an Expected Staffing Calculator by entering the number of residents that fall into each RUG category to calculate the staffing levels that would be anticipated based on the acuity of the residents in a facility.
• See current staffing as reported on your last survey. Providers can compare your staffing levels to national cut-points to see how close they are to the next Staffing star rating. They can apply "What If" functionality to see how other staffing criteria would impact their Staffing Star.
• See how current Quality Measures are impacting Quality rating. Providers can compare their rating to the national cut-points to see how many points they need to get to the next-higher star rating. They can apply "What If" functionality to see how making changes to the Quality Measure percentages would change their rating, and if they have been working on a QAPI project, they can enter their estimated impact to see how their work will pay off.
