The new Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations (PPH) measure will be included in the July 2023 refresh of Care Compare, according to CMS. A previous announcement had pointed to the October refresh or "as soon as feasible."

The preview reports and star rating preview reports for the July refresh are now available in iQIES.

For this refresh, the home health OASIS will be based on the standard number of quarters. Due to the COVID-19 reporting exceptions, the claims-based measures have been calculated excluding the first two quarters of 2020 data

from measure calculations.
