2022 Quality Performance Results

Quality performance results are based on CMS Web Interface

[1] A lower performance rate corresponds to higher quality.

[2] For PY 2022, the CMS Web Interface measures Quality ID #438 and Quality ID #370 do not have benchmarks, and therefore, were not scored.

[3] CAHPS for MIPS is a composite measure, so numerator, denominator, and performance rate values are not applicable (N/A). The CAHPS for MIPS composite score is calculated as the average number of points across scored Summary Survey Measures (SSMs) (86 FR 65256). Refer to Table 5 for details on CAHPS for MIPS performance.
