There’s a lot of data out there and a lot of it is coming from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). We’re committed to making sure that you have access to all the data you need, and we’re constantly working to cover more ground. In this blog post, we’ll give you an overview of what CMS publishes, how you can access it, and what we’re doing to make sure that you can find everything you need.
What does CMS publish?
Here’s a list of the datasets that we making available:
- Home Health Care Ratings and Data
- Skilled Nursing Facility Ratings and Data
- Dialysis Location Information
- Hospital Ratings and Data
- Hospice Ratings and Data
- Doctors Group Listings, Ratings, and Data
- Doctor Ratings and Data
- Skilled Nursing Home Owners Data
Data for each of these health care areas is updated sporadically. We monitor CMS for updates and update our health care database as soon as new data is available.
We also aim to improve the quality of the data that CMS provides, including by finding new ways to assess the data (e.g. through lists of ratings upgrades and downgrades).
