CMS has updated the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Provider Preview Reports in the Internet Quality Improvement Evaluation System (iQIES). These reports contain quality measure performance scores that will be published on Nursing Home Care Compare for the April 2026 refresh.
Data contained within the Provider Preview Reports are based on:
- MDS data submitted by SNFs from Quarter 3, 2024 through Quarter 2, 2025.
- The new COVID-19 Vaccine: Percent of Patients/Residents Who Are Up to Date measure is based on data only from Quarter 4, 2024.
- The new COVID-19 Vaccine: Percent of Patients/Residents Who Are Up to Date measure is based on data only from Quarter 4, 2024.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Health Safety Network (NHSN) measures for:
- Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Healthcare Personnel (HCP) measure data from Quarter 4, 2024 through Quarter 1, 2025.
- COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage among HCP measure data from Quarter 2, 2025.
- The claims-based measures reflect data from Quarter 4, 2022 through Quarter 3, 2024.
- The SNF Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) measure reflects data from Quarter 4, 2023 through Quarter 3, 2024.
Nursing home providers have Feb. 14, 2026, to review their performance data and make any necessary corrections. Only updates/corrections to the data before the final data submission deadline will be reflected on Nursing Home Care Compare. If a provider updates data after Aug. 14, 2025, the updates will only be reflected in iQIES QM reports.
