SNF Quality Reporting Program Preview Reports Now Available

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced that the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Quality Reporting Program (QRP) Provider Preview Reports have been updated and are now available. Providers have until Nov. 30, 2018 to review their performance data on quality measures based on Quarter 2 -2017 to Quarter 1 -2018 data prior to the January 2019 Nursing Home Compare site refresh, during which this data will be publicly displayed.

Corrections to the underlying data will not be allowed during this time. However, providers can request a CMS review during the preview period if they believe the data scores displayed are inaccurate. For more information, SNFs can visit the CMS SNF Quality Reporting Program Public Reporting webpage, which also includes directions for accessing their facility’s preview report.

As we recently reported, CMS added seven new quality-related measures to Nursing Home Compare. We strongly encouraged members to access and review their results for these measures and communicate them to internal and external stakeholders as appropriate.
