To understand the impact of the COVID-19 PHE data exemption, please refer to the first edition HQRP COVID-19 Public Reporting Tip Sheet (PDF) published in September 2020 and the Second Edition HQRP COVID-19 PR Tip Sheet published in December 2021. These can also be found in the Downloads section of the HQRP Requirements and Best Practices web page.Ĭare Compare Refresh Schedule and Preview Periods This policy is at the HIS record-level, meaning a patient’s HIS-Admission and HIS-Discharge records may have different data correction deadlines. Updates made after the correction deadline will not appear in any subsequent Care Compare refresh. After this 4.5-month data correction deadline has passed, HIS data from that calendar quarter will be permanently frozen for the purposes of public reporting. This means that providers have 4.5-months following the end of each calendar year (CY) quarter to review and correct their HIS records with target dates (which is the admission date for HIS-Admission records and discharge date for HIS-Discharge records) in that quarter for public reporting. Providers need to submit all Hospice Item Set (HIS) modification or inactivation records prior to the 4.5-month data correction deadline for public reporting for the modifications to be reflected in the corresponding HIS Provider Preview Report and public display, located on Care Compare. CMS Hospice Public Reporting Key Dates for ProvidersĬenters for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) encourages providers to be familiar with the important dates outlined in the tables below.
