The data for the claims-based measures will display data from Quarter 1, 2023 through Quarter 4, 2024 for the Discharge to Community and Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary measures, Quarter 1, 2022 through Quarter 4, 2024 for the Potentially Preventable 30-Day Post-Discharge Readmission measure, and Quarter 1, 2024 through Quarter 4, 2024 for the Home Health Within-Stay Potentially Preventable Hospitalization measure. Additionally, the data for the HHCAHPS measures will display data from Quarter 3, 2024 through Quarter 2, 2025.
The January 2026 refresh includes one new OASIS-based measure, COVID-19 Vaccine: Percent of Patients Who Are Up to Date. This is the first and only quarter the OASIS-based COVID measure data will be shared.
