WQIP Quarterly Performance Report #1

This is the Quarterly Performance Report #1 for the Workforce & Quality Incentive Program (WQIP) for PY 1, 2023. WQIP is a directed payment program that incentivizes Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) to improve quality of care as measured by improved workforce and quality metrics. This program succeeds the former Quality and Accountability Supplemental Payment (QASP) program. The data set provides for the following WQIP metrics: acuity-adjusted staffing, staffing completeness, staffing turnover, MDS clinical metrics, MDS data completeness, claims-based clinical metrics, Medi-Cal disproportionate share metric, and MDS racial and ethnic data completeness. The data set will include the distribution of facility-level scores for the currently available performance period data, as well as a comparison to the benchmark values for the MDS clinical and acuity-adjusted staffing hour metrics.
