A new update has been provided by CMS on the issues related to SNF QRP reports that had been identified in August.
Via CMS.gov
An issue was identified within the SNF Review and Correct Report, if one or more modification records are submitted for a patient stay, the most recent submitted assessment, which was accepted by the Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP) system on or prior to the submission deadline for quarters one (Q1) and two (Q2) of Calendar Year 2017 (CY2017), was not being used in the measure calculation. This issue has now been resolved.
Timeframes for addressing these issues have been updated:
Summary of Timeframes:
