CMS has released the final July 2023 Interim Performance Report for home health agencies. The final reports include updates for those agencies that had a requested recalculation approved, but all agencies are receiving a final IPR, regardless of whether they submitted a recalculation request.
 
The quarterly IPRs include results from OASIS-based measures from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023, and claims and HHCAHPS results from 2022.
 
The IPR includes:
  1. The HHA’s interim measure performance scores and an interim Total Performance Score (TPS), if an HHA has sufficient data to allow calculation of at least five (5) of the 12 measures to calculate a TPS;
  2. Improvement, achievement, and care points reflecting the HHA’s performance relative to their own performance and the performance of other HHAs in their cohort, including the achievement thresholds and benchmarks for the HHA’s cohort;
  3. Measure scorecard information to support HHAs with understanding how each individual measure contributes to their interim TPS; and
  4. A Total Normalized Composite (TNC) Change Reference tab to assist HHAs in understanding their performance on the individual OASIS items included in the two (2) TNC measures.
