Date:8/27/2009

culated information that is timely, reflects quality outcomes and, by design, is more helpful to consumers, AHCA looks forward to working with Secretary Sebelius, CMS and other concerned advocates including state Attorneys General."

"The fact that these thirty-one state leaders, who are dedicated to protecting consumers, came together to highlight weaknesses of the current Five Star system speaks volumes about the weaknesses in a system that was developed to aid consumers." Concluded Yarwood, "We join these Attorneys General in urging Secretary Sebelius to re-evaluate CMS' scoring and ratings criteria to ensure that appropriate information that truly reflects the quality of nursing home care is available for all consumers."
