IRF Provider Preview Reports – Now Available

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 [ https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/ ] and Provider Data Catalog (PDC) [ https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/topics/inpatient-rehabilitation-facilities ] during the *September 2024 refresh*.

Additionally, the Preview Reports have been updated to account for measure additions and removals that will be implemented during the *September 2024 refresh*. The three new assessment-based measures added to the Preview Reports are: (1) Transfer of Health (TOH) Information to the Provider–Post-Acute Care (PAC), (2) Transfer of Health (TOH) Information to the Patient–Post-Acute Care (PAC), and (3) Discharge Function Score. The three assessment-based measures removed from the Preview Reports are: (1) Application of Percent of Long-Term Care Hospital Patients with an Admission and Discharge Functional Assessment and a Care Plan That Addresses Function, (2) IRF Functional Outcome Measure: Change in Self-Care Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients, and (3) IRF Functional Outcome Measure: Change in Mobility Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients. Historic publicly reported data for the removed measures will continue to be available on the Inpatient rehabilitation facilities archived data snapshots [ https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/archived-data/inpatient-rehabilitation-facilities ] webpage.

The data contained within the Preview Reports are based on quality assessment data submitted by IRFs from *Quarter 1, 2023 through Quarter 4, 2023.* Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) measures reflect data from *Quarter 4,* 2022 through Quarter 3, 2023 **for the Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) and Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) measures, *Quarter 4, 2022* *through* *Quarter 1, 2023 *for the Healthcare Personnel (HCP) Influenza measure, and *Quarter 4, 2023* for the COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage among Healthcare Personnel (HCP) measure. The data for the claims-based measures have been updated for the September 2024 refresh and will display data from *Quarter 4, 2021 through Quarter 3, 2023*.

Providers have until *_July 15, 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. If a provider updates assessment data after the final data submission deadline, the updated data will only be reflected in the Facility-Level Quality Measure (QM) report and Patient-Level QM report. Updates submitted after the final data submission deadline will not be reflected in the Provider Preview Reports or on Care Compare. 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.
