(home-health agency, PITTSBURGH, PA) CARE AT HOME PREFERRED, INC.'s home-health quality from CMS Care Compare — the agency's measured outcomes with its position on each national curve — with every figure's status labeled: each outcome rate is a CMS-measured OASIS result; the quality star is a model CMS computes over several measures; each national percentile is our placement of the measured rate within the national distribution; the boundary is context — a comparison, not a personal-recovery prediction. (Each percentile's national pool size differs by measure because CMS publishes a measure only for agencies with sufficient patient volume — so the n per measure is not equal across measures.)

CC0. ## Claims ### CMS gives CARE AT HOME PREFERRED, INC. 3 of 5 stars for quality of patient care **MODELED.** CMS's quality-of-patient-care star rating for CARE AT HOME PREFERRED, INC. is 3/5. The star is a LATENT-VARIABLE STATISTICAL MODEL CMS computes by combining several OASIS measures — it is occurred=false (not a single measured event) but adjudged=true (an authority, CMS, computes and publishes it). It is not itself a measurement of any one patient. Source: CMS Home Health Care Compare — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/ Falsifier: occurred=FALSE: a MODELED figure — an authority's computed quantity ESTIMATING an independent/latent value (an index or annualized expectation), REPRODUCIBLE from its disclosed inputs, NOT a record of an event. adjudged=TRUE because CMS Home Health Care Compare (an external authority) computes and publishes it. The grounding promises "reproduce this from the inputs" — so a categorical authority VERDICT that is NOT reproducible (a star rating, a risk class) is a 'determination', not 'modeled'. Superseded by the next release. ### CARE AT HOME PREFERRED, INC. helps 77.2% of patients regain mobility **RECORDED.** Of CARE AT HOME PREFERRED, INC.'s home-health patients, 77.2% regain mobility ("Got better at walking / moving around"). This is a CMS-measured OASIS outcome rate — a real change in patients between admission and discharge, reported by the agency to CMS. occurred=true. Source: CMS Home Health Care Compare — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/ Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from CMS Home Health Care Compare; superseded when CMS Home Health Care Compare publishes its next release. ### CARE AT HOME PREFERRED, INC.'s 77.2% on "Got better at walking / moving around" is ≈ the 23rd percentile nationally **DERIVED.** Placed within the national distribution of this outcome across 8,029 agencies (national median 87.47%), CARE AT HOME PREFERRED, INC.'s RECORDED 77.2% sits at ≈ the 23rd percentile. The rate is CMS-measured; this PERCENTILE is an in-house computation over our derived national distribution — occurred=false (a computed rank, not an event), adjudged=false (the atlas's placement, not a CMS verdict).

It is NOT a prediction of how you or your relative will recover (your clinician knows your case), NOT a CMS "best/worst" verdict, and NOT a substitute for CMS Care Compare's full detail. Outcome rates reflect the patients an agency served (case-mix differs). Verify and see every measure at CMS Care Compare (CCN 397259).

The rates (recorded), the star (modeled), and the percentiles (derived) above are each grounded and four-status-labeled; this is the only interpretation. --- Every claim above carries a four-status warrant (RECORDED / MODELED / DERIVED / INTERPRETATION) and a named source you can re-fetch — this is a research object, not a flat fact.
