CMS DAVE Website Homepage
Welcome to the Data Assessment and Verification Project (DAVE) Website. The primary objective of the DAVE project is to assess the accuracy and reliability of assessment data nursing homes submit; the project is also intended to support improvements in the quality of care, support CMS' program integrity initiatives to improve payment accuracy, and support payment policy development. The DAVE completed a beta test of its methodology and processes in Fall of 2003 and implemented nationally in January 2004. On this site, you will find background information about the project, learn about various DAVE activities (including analytical approaches, clinical review activities and educational efforts), obtain a summary of the beta test, become familiar with the DAVE contractors, and find several supplemental links. Read the transcript from the DAVE National Kickoff Teleconference held on December 11, 2003.
