The Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) 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 March 2022 refresh of the websites.
The data contained within the Preview Reports are based on quality assessment data submitted by IRFs from Quarter 3, 2020 through Quarter 2, 2021 (4 quarters). Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) measures reflect data from Quarter 2, 2019 through Quarter 4, 2019 and Quarter 3, 2020 (4 quarters) for the Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) and Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) measures, as well as Quarter 4, 2018 through Quarter 1, 2019 (2 quarters) for the Healthcare Personnel (HCP) Influenza measure. The data for the claims-based measures will continue to display Quarter 4, 2017 through Quarter 3, 2019 data for this refresh while CMS performs additional measure analyses.
Providers have until February 25, 2022, to review their performance data. Corrections to the underlying data will not be permitted during this time. However, providers can request Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) review of their data during the preview period if they believe the quality measure scores that are displayed within their Preview Reports are inaccurate.
