Part of the [CMS Data Feeds Dataset](/data-catalog/cms-data-feeds-dataset/cms-data-feeds-catalog.md) › Hospitals

Dataplex delivers this CMS feed as the analysis-ready table `DWV.PATIENT_ENGAGEMENT_PPS_EXEMPT_CANCER_HOSPITAL_HOSPITAL` on Snowflake and Databricks: two snapshot releases spanning 2026–2026, 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.

## Row-level lineage

Every row in this table traces to the exact CMS source file that produced it. The `FILE_ID` column joins to the `FEEDS_FILES` catalog table, and `FILE_FEED_ID` joins to the `FEEDS` master table:

```mermaid
erDiagram
    FEEDS ||--o{ FEEDS_FILES : "ID = FEED_ID"
    FEEDS ||--o{ PATIENT_ENGAGEMENT_PPS_EXEMPT_CANCER_HOSPITAL_HOSPITAL : "ID = FILE_FEED_ID"
    FEEDS_FILES ||--o{ PATIENT_ENGAGEMENT_PPS_EXEMPT_CANCER_HOSPITAL_HOSPITAL : "ID = FILE_ID"

    FEEDS {
        text ID PK
        text TITLE
        text VIEW_NAME
        text ACCURAL_PERIODICITY
    }
    FEEDS_FILES {
        text ID PK
        text FEED_ID FK
        date TEMPORAL_START
        date TEMPORAL_END
        date CMS_FEED_MODIFIED
        number IS_LATEST
    }
    PATIENT_ENGAGEMENT_PPS_EXEMPT_CANCER_HOSPITAL_HOSPITAL {
        text ROW_ID PK
        text FILE_ID FK
        text FILE_FEED_ID FK

        text FACILITY_ID
        text FACILITY_NAME
        text HOSPITAL_TYPE
        number remaining_12_data_columns
    }
```

Trace any row back to its source file and reporting period:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. 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/patient-engagement-pps-exempt-cancer-hospital-hospital.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_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.
