Website Content Specified in the ESRD QIP 2014 Final Rule
In the final rule for the Payment Year (PY) 2014 End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Incentive Program (QIP), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) stated they would post numerical values for the performance standards, achievement thresholds, benchmarks and minimum Total Performance Score using data from the full 12 month baseline period. These PY 2014 ESRD QIP numerical values are now available on this website.
Announcements: QIP
CMS will electronically notify facilities that the 2012 Performance Score Certificates are available for downloading in December 2011 (notification by December 15, 2011). Facilities must login to our secure site to download the certificate. Each facility is responsible for printing the Performance Score Certificate and posting it in a noticeable location where patients and caregivers can view it. PSCs must be displayed in the facility within 5 business days of being made available on the website.

For more information, see our supplemental material for providers -or- for renal networks and facilities.

Announcements: DFRs
On November 22, 2011, the Dialysis Facility Reports (DFR) were replaced with an updated version correcting an error that was recently identified. In Table 6, the categorization of the average hemoglobin has been corrected for some patients resulting in changes to the percentages reported in lines 6h, 6j, and 6l. The average hemoglobin values in line 6g are unchanged. For most affected facilities, only one patient was misclassified and therefore the changes in percentages are small. This correction does change the hemoglobin percentages that will be reported on Dialysis Facility Compare (DFC) for 152 facilities. The corrected values are shown in the DFC Preview table on page 2 of the DFR. Please note that these changes do not impact the measures reported on the Performance Score Report (PSR).
