2017 Nursing Home Quality Initiative MethodologyUpdated March 2017
The 2017 Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI) is comprised of three components: [1] the Quality Component (quality measures), [2] the Compliance Component (compliance with reporting), [3] and the Efficiency Component (potentially avoidable hospitalizations). The 2017 NHQI score is worth a maximum 100 points.
Quality Component (70 points)
Quality measures are calculated from MDS 3.0 data (2016 calendar year), the NYS employee flu vaccination data, and nursing home cost report data for the percent of contract/agency staff used and the rate of staffing hours per day.
Quality Point grid for Attainment and Improvement
Year 1 = 2016 (2015 measurement year)
Year 2 = 2017 (2016 measurement year) For example, if 2016 NHQI performance (Year 1) is in the third quintile, and 2017 NHQI performance (Year 2) is in the second quintile, the facility will receive 4 points for the measure. This is 3 points for attaining the second quintile and 1 point for improvement from the previous year´s third quintile. Changes to the Quality Component

Scoring
The facility´s overall score will be calculated by summing the points for each measure in the NHQI. In the event that a measure cannot be used due to small sample size or unavailable data, the maximum attainable points will be reduced for that facility. For example, if a facility has a small sample size on two of its quality measures (each 5 points), the maximum attainable points will be 90 rather than 100. The sum of its points will be divided by 90 to calculate its total score. The example below provides a mathematical illustration of this method.

Due to the severity of letter J, K, and L health inspection deficiencies, receipt of a deficiency is incorporated into the NHQI. Nursing homes that receive one or more of these deficiencies are not eligible to be ranked into overall quintiles. J, K, and L deficiencies indicate a Level 4 immediate jeopardy, which is the highest level of severity for deficiencies on a health inspection. Immediate jeopardy indicates that the deficiency resulted in noncompliance and immediate action was necessary, and the event caused or was likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment or death to the resident(s).
