Note about FFS admissions data:
FFS home health, hospice, and skilled nursing admissions are based on claims initially released by CMS to their virtual research data center and accessible by Trella Health. As such, the true number of admissions could be higher when claims that were filed after the initial release are factored in. Trella Health uses the initially released data for earlier quarters to provide a more accurate directional trend analysis for the latest available data.
