CMS Releases Updated IRF Provider Preview Reports

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released the updated inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) provider preview reports. These ‎reports contain provider performance scores for quality measures and contain IRF-Patient Assessment Instrument (PAI) data submitted ‎by IRFs from Quarter 4 2021 through Quarter 3 2022, as well as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Clostridium Difficile (CDI) and Catheter-‎Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) measures from Quarter 4 2021 through Quarter 1 2022 and Quarter 4 2021 ‎through Quarter 1 2022 of the Healthcare Personnel (HCP) Influenza measure. The HCP COVID-19 Vaccination ‎Coverage measure data for Quarter 3 2022 is also included. ‎

Providers have until April 14, 2023, to review their performance data. Providers can request CMS ‎review their data during the preview period if they believe the scores are inaccurate. The final reports ‎will be published on Care Compare and Provider Data Catalog (PDC) during the June 2023 refresh of ‎the website.
