What is the confidential reporting system for agency performance metrics?

The confidential reporting system is the CASPER reporting system. It’s CMS’s internal system used to collect and organize home health agency data (from patient records and other sources) to generate quality measures and support regulatory oversight and payment decisions. Because the data flow happens behind the scenes, it’s not the public-facing report consumers see. In contrast, Home Health Compare is the public reporting portal, and 5 Star Ratings are the consumer-facing star measures derived from those public reports. HIPPS codes are billing identifiers used for reimbursement, not for performance reporting.
