The Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Provider Preview Reports with data that will be published on Care Compare during the January 2024 refresh are now available in iQIES.

The data contained within the reports are based on MDS data submitted by SNFs from Quarter 2, 2022, through Quarter 1, 2023. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) measures reflect data from Quarter 4, 2022, through Quarter 1, 2023, for the Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Healthcare Personnel measure, and Quarter 1, 2023, for the COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage among Healthcare Personnel measure. The data for the claims-based measures will display data from Quarter 4, 2020, through Quarter 3, 2022, for this refresh, and for the SNF Healthcare-Associated Infections measure, from Quarter 4, 2021, through Quarter 3, 2022.

Providers have until November 13, 2023 to review their performance data. Only updates and corrections to the underlying assessment data before the final data submission deadline will be reflected in the publicly reported data on Care Compare. However, providers can request Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services review of their data during the preview period if they believe the quality measure scores that are displayed within their Preview Reports are inaccurate.
