Composite Score: Quality of Care (50%%) — normalized CMS quality star rating with hospitalization performance adjustments. Patient Experience (30%%) — normalized HHCAHPS summary star blended with recommend percentage. Value-Based Performance (20%%) — CMS Total Performance Score; non-participants receive national median.
Limitations: HCRIS cost reports are self-reported and may contain errors or delays. Agencies with low patient volume may have suppressed quality measures. VBP non-participation does not indicate poor quality. Financial data reflects the most recently available completed fiscal year.
