This week, LeadingAge Ohio learned that there would be further delay in its quarterly 5-Star Reports produced in conjunction with LeadingAge New York. According to our colleagues, while CMS has released data in both November and December, the data sets are rife with omissions. In the latest release, six data sets were missing, including MDS quality measures, claims-based quality measures, and health and fire code deficiencies.
Unfortunately, CMS has shared no set date by which the datasets will be corrected, so at this point we cannot anticipate when reports will be available to members. LeadingAge New York is in touch with CMS about these issues, and ready to produce reports as quickly as possible once corrections are made.
Questions regarding this issue may be directed to Susan Wallace at swallace@leadingageohio.org or Stephanie DeWees at sdewees@leadingageohio.org.
