"Statutory health insurance: a leading organization urges reform in nursing MOT"

Quote
The introduced last year in so-called care Notensytem MOT was "not acceptable", said the board member responsible for the statutory health insurance, Karl-Dieter Voss appearing on the city of Dortmund,  through the method of calculating the overall score at the moment it comes to significant distortions.  Therefore, individual scores should be weighted more in the future in order to create a false picture in any case.

According to current data of Voss nursing homes in Germany in the important areas for patients, such as malnutrition, pressure ulcers, or water, only with the rather poor grade of "unsatisfactory cut.  By calculating the current mix of 64 different criteria, they would have made it "in some cases, however, the overall 'get well' to," said Voss, a new report shows more. The leading association of statutory health insurance urged for this reason to rapid changes to the grading system in the current spring.

The current system doesn't give enough weight to quality issues like malnutrition and bed sores?
