My 2019Q1 data doesn't look correct?

Claims data for patients that were admitted to SNFs in 2018 is not available or included in the 2019 data. The claims data for the STACH stay is available and included in the 2019 data. This may result in an understatement of average length of stay and episode cost for SNF services that ended in first quarter 2019.
