Quality Measure Improvement

PBJ (Payroll-Based Journal) Accuracy
Our Five-Star experts assist in the assessment of PBJ reporting accuracy and partner with your leadership team to support effective staffing plans.
Our facility does not have a corporate office to engage for training purposes. Proactive Consultants have worked with us in the areas of Quality Measures, survey expectations, and day to day clinical operations. The engagement resulted in the identification of facility system barriers and insight into improving processes for the best resident care outcomes. We have seen significant and consistent improvement in our QMs through the five star action plan since working with Proactive. Proactive Consultants are personable and professional, and have made the Nursing Director feel positive about her future success as our Nursing leader. Thank you Proactive for investing in developing our nursing leaders and improving the overall operations of this facility.
