Proper Tree Support: In this informative video, ISA Certified Arborist Wes explains the practice of staking trees for their initial growing season to provide proper tree support, particularly in the face of potential storms. Wes discusses the importance of this temporary support but emphasizes the need for caution. Leaving trees staked for too long can lead to dependency on the stake, preventing them from developing their own strength to stand upright. Additionally, there's a vital reminder about the potential danger of forgetting the staking materials wrapped around the tree, which could eventually strangle the tree as it grows in diameter. This video offers valuable insights into the proper care and maintenance of young trees to ensure their long-term health and stability in the natural environment.

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

mPulse’s Sam Oliver and Reva Sheehan said the CAHPS chapter moved with overall Medicare Advantage Star Ratings from 2026 to 2027 after CMS cut its weight from 4 to 2. With 11 administrative measures set to start leaving with the 2028 ratings and the equity reward cancelled, they outlined scenario planning around CAHPS, population mix and reweighting changes.

  • 01CMS cut CAHPS from a weight of 4 to 2 in the CY2025 final rule, effective with the 2026 Star Ratings, yet mPulse's chapter data shows CAHPS still moved in the same direction as overall stars for the 2027 cycle.
  • 02The April 2026 final rule removes 11 administrative measures, but none leave before the 2028 Star Ratings; the 2027 measure set is unchanged and the Health Equity Index reward is cancelled.
  • 03CAHPS stars are set by percentile cutoffs and reliability tests, and in the 2025 Star Ratings 13 percent of CAHPS results landed on a different star than the cutoff implied, 93 percent of them lower, according to RISE Health.
