CMS has updated exclusion criteria for the Administrator Turnover measure on Care Compare. Previously, the measure was excluded for nursing homes submitting PBJ data with 5 or more administrators on 12 or more days during a 3-quarter period. These nursing homes were excluded due to what CMS categorized as an erroneously high number of administrators (likely due to errors in reporting). With the July 26th refresh, CMS has now updated criteria to exclude measures for nursing homes reporting 5 or more administrators on 4 or more days during one quarter.
