The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) identified an error in the patient counts for each inpatient rehabilitation facility patient assessment instrument (IRF-PAI) measure in the March 2022 provider preview reports (which were originally issued on April 13, 2022) related to the June 2022 refresh of IRF quality data on CMS Care Compare. CMS has updated the report to apply the COVID-19 reporting exceptions to only exclude stays that occurred in Quarter 1 (Q1) and Quarter 2 (Q2) of 2020. The March 2022 provider preview reports are currently available for review until May 27, 2022. Questions about the reports should be sent by email.

Over the last several months, the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) has been working toward implementation of a new treatment locator resource called ATLAS® (Addiction Treatment Locator, Assessment, and Standards Platform). Pennsylvania is now currently in the data collection phase for all licensed treatment facilities to be included in ATLAS (though provider participation is not mandatory). As the deadline of January 28, 2022, approaches for completion of the Treatment Data Survey (TDS) portion of the initiative, DDAP Secretary Jennifer Smith highlights the value of this resource to treatment providers and patients.
