Definition
Performance Scores are numerical evaluations assigned to agencies based on quality measures, patient outcomes, operational performance, and value-based purchasing metrics.
Why it matters
Performance scores influence benchmarking, quality improvement initiatives, public reporting, and, in programs such as HHVBP, may affect Medicare reimbursement. Monitoring these scores helps agencies identify strengths, prioritize improvement efforts, and deliver consistently high-quality patient care.
