For its Quality Reporting Program, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is exploring the possibility of expanding nursing home data collection and submission to all residents, regardless of payer type. Officials heard feedback on the challenges and benefits of such a move during a listening session held on Tuesday.

If the federal agency proceeds with such data collection and requires quality measure data submission for all residents, not just those covered by Medicare, officials are interested in understanding the challenges of identifying non-Medicare residents for assessment under the SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP), among other issues, and in gaining insights into how existing CMS policies in the program can be adapted for broader application.
