Part of the [CMS Data Feeds Dataset](/data-catalog/cms-data-feeds-dataset/cms-data-feeds-catalog.md) › Dialysis facilities Dataplex delivers this CMS feed as the analysis-ready table `DWV.ESRD_QIP_IN_CENTER_HEMODIALYSIS_CONSUMER_ASSESSMENT_OF_HEALT` on Snowflake and Databricks: two snapshot releases spanning 2025–2025, aligned to a single schema, refreshed automatically whenever CMS publishes a new file. Every row carries lineage back to the exact CMS source file that produced it. ## Key facts | | | | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Snowflake** | `DWV.ESRD_QIP_IN_CENTER_HEMODIALYSIS_CONSUMER_ASSESSMENT_OF_HEALT` | | **Databricks** | `cms_dwv.esrd_qip_in_center_hemodialysis_consumer_assessment_of_healt` | | **Cadence** | Annual | | **Update pattern** | Full-refresh; each file replaces the prior snapshot | | **CMS published** | 2025-12-01 | | **Loaded** | 2026-09-28 | | **Columns** | 38 data + 6 lineage | | **Identifiers** | CCN · ZIP codes | | **File versions** | 2 | | **License** | CMS public data (U.S. Government work) | | **Platforms** | Snowflake Marketplace · Databricks Delta Sharing | Included in the CMS Data Feeds Dataset, [start a free trial on Snowflake Marketplace](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZT1Z125KDH/dataplex-consulting-data-products-cms-data-feeds-dataset). {% hint style="success" %} **Current**: CMS last published this feed on 2025-12-01.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.dataplex-consulting.com/data-catalog/cms-data-feeds-dataset/cms-data-feeds-catalog/esrd-qip-in-center-hemodialysis-consumer-assessment-of-healthcare-providers-and-services-systems-ich.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
