Under the CARES Act, CMS received $80 million to support states’ ability to conduct nursing home inspections. CMS announced it may withdraw a portion of CARES Act funding from states that don’t complete all surveys by July 31 or a later agreed-upon date. “Early analysis shows that facilities with a one-star quality rating were more likely to have large numbers of COVID-19 cases than facilities with a five-star quality rating,” the agency said in a statement. CMS aims to improve the safety of nursing homes with such targeted accountability measures. (Modern Healthcare story, 6/1/20)
