# Atlas Commons research objects — MCLEOD HOME HEALTH INC (home-health agency, FLORENCE, SC)

MCLEOD HOME HEALTH 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.)

## Claims

### CMS gives MCLEOD HOME HEALTH INC 3 of 5 stars for quality of patient care

**MODELED.** CMS's quality-of-patient-care star rating for MCLEOD HOME HEALTH 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 Superseded by the next release.

### MCLEOD HOME HEALTH INC helps 86.81% of patients regain mobility

**RECORDED.** Of MCLEOD HOME HEALTH INC's home-health patients, 86.81% 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Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from CMS Home Health Care Compare; superseded when CMS Home Health Care Compare publishes its next release.

### MCLEOD HOME HEALTH INC's 86.81% on "Got better at walking / moving around" is ≈ the 48th percentile nationally

**DERIVED.** Placed within the national distribution of this outcome across 8,029 agencies (national median 87.47%), MCLEOD HOME HEALTH INC's RECORDED 86.81% sits at ≈ the 48th 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 says where the agency falls on the curve, not that it is "good" or "bad".

### What this agency page is — and is NOT

**INTERPRETATION.** This page COMPARES MCLEOD HOME HEALTH INC to other home-health agencies on CMS-measured outcomes, and shows where it falls on each national curve. 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 427057).

Source: Care Atlas framing (over the CMS Home Health panel) — https://care-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not a CMS verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. The rates (recorded), the star (modeled), and the percentiles (derived) above are each grounded and four-status-labeled; this is the only interpretation.
