We want this guide to help illustrate the different parts of our assessment approach and what each will feel for providers. The level at which we will rate This guidance describes the levels will publish ratings for and how that differs for specific types of services. The guidance also describes how we'll aggregate ratings across different levels. As we roll out our assessment approach we will ask providers for feedback and use it to update and develop our guidance. Share your feedback on our two new pieces of guidance.
