Abstract

The evolving health care system has put an increasing emphasis on balancing quality, outcomes, and costs. As part of this evolution, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is using a Five-Star Quality Rating System to evaluate the quality of care provided by Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription drug plans. At the same time, drug plans are using a Five-Star system to rate pharmacies, which contribute to the CMS ratings of nursing facilities. More than ever, pharmacists can play a significant role in helping facilities, plans, and even pharmacies achieve the highest possible ratings and maintain those standards over time.
