Focus on Excellence/Oklahoma Nursing Home Ratings
Mission:
The program is goal oriented to enrich nursing facility’s overall quality of care. Our purpose is to allow nursing facility’s established and rooted in Oklahoma the opportunity to achieve above and beyond the standard level of care already being provided. This program enhances not only the nursing facility, but families, consumers, employees and the entire State of Oklahoma.
Program:
Focus on Excellence, is the OHCA program designed to measure and ensure the integrity, quality and overall wellness of consumers and LTC facilities. The Focus on Excellence program began July 1, 2007. All Oklahoma Long Term Care Facilities are eligible to participate in the program. We currently have 291 actively participating.
Stars on the Oklahoma nursing home Web site are achieved by facilities participating and completing 10 quality measures, each with their own set target. The Stars are the consumers’ tool to identify which areas may be important and significant to the family, consumer and/or loved one. Each quality measure will have a star rating from one to five.
The quality measures are:
- Quality of Life
- Resident/Family Satisfaction
- Employee Satisfaction
- CNA/TA Turnover and Retention
- Nurse Turnover and Retention
- State Survey Compliance
- Level of Person-Centered Care
- Direct Care Hours
- Clinical Outcomes
- SoonerCare Occupancy and Medicare Utilization
