On April 17, 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) transitioned from the Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (QIES) to Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES) Reports User Manual (iQIES). Access to MDS submissions and several important reports (including MDS, QM, QRP, VBP, Non-Compliance letters) will now occur in the iQIES system. For a brief period, there will be some reports still available in QIES. The following table outlines report availability on QIES and iQIES.
