Quality Performance Results

2021 Quality Performance Results

Quality performance results are based on CMS Web Interface

[1] For PY 2021, measures #134, #438, and #370 do not have CMS Web Interface benchmarks and are not scored as a result.
[2] A lower performance rate corresponds to higher quality.
[3] CAHPS for MIPS is a composite measure, so numerator, denominator, and performance rate values are not applicable (N/A). See Table 4 for details on CAHPS for MIPS performance.

Please note, the Quality ID #: 370 Depression Remission at 12 months quality measure is not included in public reporting due to low sample size.
