• Improvement in Ambulation

• Improvement in Bathing

• Improvement in Dyspnea

• Improvement in Management of Oral Medications

• Improvement in Pain Interfering with Movement

• Improvement in Status of Surgical Wounds

Using the STAR Web site, you can:

• View your agency's quality measure trend reports.
