For this refresh, Home Health (HH) Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) will be based on the standard number of quarters. The HH QRP claims-based measures, with the exception of PPR, have been updated for this refresh and are now based on the standard number of quarters.
Due to the COVID-19 reporting exceptions, PPR continues to be calculated excluding Q1 and Q2 2020 data. For additional information, please see the HH QRP COVID-19 Public Reporting Tip Sheet in the downloads section of the HH Quality Reporting Trainingwebpage and the Home Health Data Submission Deadlines webpage.
The October 2023 refresh will add a new claims-based measure for public reporting:
- Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations (PPH)
The refresh will also remove an OASIS measure from public reporting:
- Drug education on all medications provided to patient/caregiver
Providers have 30 days (until August 16, 2023) 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. Updates submitted after the final data submission deadline will not be reflected in the Provider Preview Reports or on the Care Compare website. However, providers can request Centers for Medicare & 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.
