The following is an advertorial for the new Quality Connect tool by z-PAX.

An important new tool has entered the marketplace for assessing Quality Measure risk in the MDS called Quality Connect, breaking new ground in an all-important way by giving skilled nursing facilities the ability to identify and address QM risk before the MDS is opened. This application is the latest in the suite of regulatory reimbursement management products from CONNECT by Zimmet Healthcare.

The product’s mantra is Quality, Simplified. Results, Amplified.

Quality Connect works by analyzing current resident data, highlighting likely triggers, and providing real-time guidance so staff can quickly and confidently respond.

"Connect has given us an ‘Easy Button’ for managing not only our reimbursement, but now our Quality Measures as well. Quality Connect is the perfect pathway to driving a proactive approach to our Five-Star measures to ensure accurate documentation and flexibility in choosing the ARD," says Chay Indra, Senior Director of Clinical Operations at Vetter Health Services.

How It Works

By continuously running a proactive pre-MDS scan, Quality Connect reduces inaccurate triggers and unnecessary carry-over. Facilities can resolve potential issues sooner, focus on true areas of concern, and prevent small problems from becoming major compliance challenges.

Does This Make a Difference?

Yes, the tool helps SNFs:

Spot Quality Measure risks early

Save staff time with fewer erroneous triggers

Reduce survey surprises and improve compliance

Link quality outcomes with Five-Star ratings, staffing accuracy, and value-based care results

Results Matter

With clearer insight and less wasted effort, SNFs can shift from reactive corrections to proactive quality management. Quality Connect supports stronger outcomes for residents, smoother operations for staff, and measurable improvements in performance across the board.

Products to ‘Connect’

z-PAX said it understands how data resonates across a SNF’s profile and impacts performance. Thus, its “Connect” suite of applications enable a facility to improve revenue, reduce costs, and support regulatory compliance.
