Updated Data for Dialysis Facility Care Compare (DFCC) on Medicare.gov Now Available

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is pleased to announce that new data about dialysis facilities are available on Dialysis Facility Care Compare on Medicare.gov [ https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/ ]—the website where beneficiaries, families, and health care providers can view and compare quality data about dialysis facilities. CMS uses these data, organized into a series of measures, to create two-star rating systems that help ensure safety, quality, and transparency for dialysis facilities and that help beneficiaries make educated decisions about where to get their dialysis treatments.

*What’s in the July 2024 Data Refresh?*

With the July 2024 data refresh, these measures for dialysis facilities were updated with data from October 2022 - September 2023:


* Adult and child patients who had enough waste removed from their blood during hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
* Adult patients who had too much calcium in their blood
* Hemoglobin management (Downloadable Data Only)
* Phosphorus concentrations in the blood (Downloadable Data Only)
* Adult patients who received treatment through an arteriovenous fistula
* Adult patients who had a catheter (tube) left in a vein for at least 3 consecutive complete months, for their regular hemodialysis treatments
* Measurement of nPCR for Pediatric Hemodialysis Patients
* Patients who were on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waiting list

The HCP Vaccination Measure has also been updated. It is updated quarterly, and the data used in this release is from July - September 2023.
