How it works

How it works in skilled nursing

01

Capture

PT, nursing or other staff run a five-minute screen at admission. The protocol satisfies the Medicare requirement for objective testing at intake.

02

Score

Grip strength, sit-to-stand, gait speed and timed up-and-go are scored against normative data instantly. Grip strength can be captured even when the patient can't complete CST, TUG or 4MGS.

03

Act

The risk report informs the plan of care, evidences improvement throughout the stay and supports defensible documentation for SNF PPS Section GG reporting.

04

Track

Re-screen at discharge. Objective evidence of improvement feeds Care Compare quality measures, Star Ratings and the conversations with referral sources.

What we measure

Four metrics, one picture of function

01

The objective data gave us something defensible to show surveyors. That alone was worth the investment.

Common questions from skilled nursing operators

Falls outcomes feed the Care Compare quality measures that directly impact Five-Star ratings — and new CMS regulation has increased penalties for falls. Objective screening identifies at-risk residents earlier, enabling timely intervention before falls occur and protecting your quality scores.
