The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is offering a web-based training course that provides a high-level overview of how data elements within CMS patient/resident assessment instruments are used to construct quality measures (QMs) across post-acute care (PAC) settings. The course also discusses the relationship between these data elements and Quality Reporting Program (QRP) QMs, QM calculation, and how to access reports and use QM data for quality improvement. The training can be accessed on the HH QRP, IRF QRP, LTCH QRP, and SNF QRP Training pages or by clicking on the following link: From Data Elements to Quality Measures Training.   

If you have questions about accessing the resources or feedback regarding the training, please email the PAC Training Mailbox. Content-related questions should be submitted to the HH QRP Help Desk, IRF QRP Help Desk, LTCH QRP Help Desk, or SNF QRP Help Desk.
