12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising: deriving a citation threshold from the base assessment model; and converting the citation threshold to a first threshold quality score, such that, for the resident care area, the base assessment model indicates a substantially certain likelihood of citation when the generated quality score is below the first threshold quality score and the base assessment model indicates a substantial certainty of no likelihood of citation when the generated quality score is above the first threshold quality score.

The method of claim 12 , further comprising: deriving a second threshold quality score greater than the first threshold quality score, wherein the second threshold quality score indicates a quality score for the resident care area where there is a maximum positive difference between an upper score and a lower score, wherein the upper score indicates a composite positive predictive value, according to the base assessment model, of a citation resulting from a range of the possible quality scores falling above the second threshold quality score, and wherein the lower score indicates a composite positive predictive value, according to the base assessment model, of a citation resulting from a range of the possible quality scores falling below the second threshold quality score and above the first threshold quality score.
