According to a communication from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the skilled nursing facility (SNF) Provider Preview Reports have been updated and are now available. These reports contain provider performance scores for quality measures, which will be published on
Care Compare and
Provider Data Catalog (PDC) during the April 2024 refresh.
The data contained within the Preview Reports are based on the following:
- Quality assessment data submitted by SNFs from Quarter 3, 2022, through Quarter 2, 2023
- Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) measures reflect data from Quarter 4, 2022, through Quarter 1, 2023 for the influenza vaccination coverage among healthcare personnel measure
- Quarter 2, 2023, for the COVID-19 vaccination coverage among healthcare personnel (HCP) measure
- The data for the claims-based measures will display data from Quarter 4, 2020, through Quarter 3, 2022
- SNF healthcare-associated infections (HAI) measure, from Quarter 4, 2021, through Quarter 3, 2022
Providers have until February 15, 2024, to review their performance data. Only updates/corrections to the underlying assessment data before the final data submission deadline will be reflected in the publicly reported data on Care Compare.
