Where does CarePilot get its home health quality measures from?
The home health quality measures that CarePilot provides come from information collected by The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In 2000, as part of a broad quality improvement initiative, the federal government began requiring that all Medicare-certified home health agencies complete and submit health assessment information on their clients. Information is collected on the patients’ health, how they function, the skilled care, social, personal, and support services they need, as well as their living conditions.
