The purpose of the Third Edition Quality Reporting Program (QRP) COVID-19 Public Reporting (PR) Tip Sheets are to help providers understand CMS’ public reporting approach to the HH, IRF, LTCH, and SNF QRPs to account for CMS quality data submissions that were either optional or excepted from public reporting due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The impacts on CMS’ Care Compare website refreshes are also outlined. These tip sheets serve as companion documents to the first and second edition QRP COVID-19 PR Tip Sheets published in 2020 and 2022.
