Updated SNF Provider Preview Reports Now Available

(Oct. 29, 2024) The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has posted updated Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Provider Preview Reports in the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES). The performance scores for quality measures will be publicly reported on Care Compare during the January 2025 refresh.

The latest Provider Preview Reports are based on quality assessment data submitted by SNFs from Quarter 2, 2023 through Quarter 1, 2024. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) measures reflect Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Healthcare Personnel (HCP) measure data from Quarter 4, 2023 through Quarter 1, 2024 and COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage among HCP measure data from Quarter 1, 2024. The claims-based measures data was updated for the October 2024 refresh. This data from Quarter 4, 2021 through Quarter 3, 2023 will continue to display, as well as the SNF Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) measure data from Quarter 4, 2022 through Quarter 3, 2023.

Providers have until Nov. 14, 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.

1. Log into iQIES using your Health Care Quality Information Systems (HCQIS) Access Roles and Profile (HARP) user ID and password.
