How Wound Care Can Help Facilities Improve CMS Star Ratings
How Wound Care Can Help Facilities Improve CMS Star Ratings
For SNFs, ALFs, hospitals, home health agencies, and provider networks, CMS Star Ratings
aren’t just a metric—they’re the currency of trust, compliance, and revenue. Whether you’re
aiming to attract more patients, secure reimbursements, or avoid costly citations, wound care
plays a pivotal but often overlooked role in improving your facility’s CMS performance.
At Oracle Wound Care, we help facilities across all 50 states elevate their CMS Star Ratings by
reducing wound-related deficiencies, hospitalizations, and quality measure penalties. Here’s
how our mobile and telehealth wound care programs make an immediate impact.
Why Wound Care Impacts Your CMS Star Rating
CMS evaluates performance across quality measures, staffing, and health inspections.
Wounds—especially pressure injuries and chronic ulcers—are directly tied to survey
outcomes, readmission rates, and quality indicators.
Hospital Readmissions & Avoidable ER Transfers
Poor wound management often results in:
● Wound infections
● Sepsis
● Hospitalizations
How Oracle Wound Care Helps:
● Early detection through weekly in-person or virtual wound rounds
● Advanced bedside treatments (e.g., debridement, biologics)
● Prevents escalation with 24/7 telehealth wound consults
Facilities working with us experience fewer hospital transfers and better continuity of care.
Deficiency-Free Surveys and State Audits
CMS inspections often cite facilities for:
● Untreated pressure ulcers
● Incomplete wound documentation
● Lack of physician oversight
How Oracle Helps:
● Standardized wound documentation & staging
● Nursing staff in-services on wound care protocols
● Clinical oversight from wound-certified NPs or MDs
Our wound care model reduces F-tags, survey deficiencies, and legal exposure.
Quality Measures & Patient Outcomes
Chronic wounds can tank your scores in:
● Mobility and ADLs
● Pressure ulcer rates
● Pain management
How Oracle Improves Scores:
● Healing times often under 6 weeks for chronic wounds
● Reduces facility-acquired pressure ulcers
