The July 2022 release of the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Quality Reporting Program (QRP) data is now available on Care Compare and Provider Data Catalog (PDC).
We have developed a Resource Tool with the Quality Measures, effective date and collection period. Click on the link below for the tool.
What is the SNF QRP?
The SNF QRP creates SNF quality reporting requirements, as mandated by the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act). Every year, by October 1, we publish the quality measures SNFs must report.
The IMPACT Act added section 1899B to the Social Security Act (Act) and requires the reporting of standardized patient assessment data with regard to quality measures and standardized patient assessment data elements. The Act requires the submission of data pertaining to quality measures, resource use and other domains. In addition, the IMPACT Act requires assessment data to be standardized and interoperable to allow for the exchange of data among post-acute providers and other providers. The IMPACT Act intends for standardized post-acute care data to improve Medicare beneficiary outcomes through shared decision making, care coordination, and enhanced discharge planning.
If a SNF fails to submit the required quality data, the SNF will be subject to a two percentage (2%) point reduction in the Annual Payment Update (APU) for the applicable performance year.
