Percent of Residents Who Lose Too Much Weight (Long-Stay)
-
This measure reports the percentage of long-stay nursing home residents with a target Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (OBRA, PPS, Discharge) that indicates a weight loss of 5% or more of the baseline weight in the last 30 days or 10% or more of the baseline weight in the last 6 months, which is not a result of a physician-prescribed weight-loss regimen. The baseline weight is the resident’s weight closest to 30 or 180 days before the date of the target assessment. Long-stay residents are identified as residents who have had at least 101 cumulative days of nursing facility care.
