Notes:

[1] A lower performance rate corresponds to higher quality.

[2] CAHPS for MIPS Survey is a composite measure, so numerator and denominator values are not applicable (N/A). The Reported Performance Rate column shows the CAHPS for MIPS Survey composite score. The CAHPS for MIPS Survey composite score is calculated as the average number of points across scored Summary Survey Measures (SSMs).
