Not COVID-Related, But Important: November 15th Deadline to Submit MDS Data for QRP
Skilled Nursing Facilities must have all of their MDS assessment and NHSN data for April 1 – June 30, 2022 submitted by 10:59 PM Central on November 15, 2022. This is for the purpose of determining compliance with reporting for the SNF Quality Reporting Program. As always, members will want to make sure all elements in these reports are complete. One way to do that is to run applicable CASPER/IQIES/NHSN analysis reports prior to each quarter’s reporting deadline.  Providers can access more detail on the list of measures required for the SNF QRP  here.  SNFs can also sign up to be notified if they are not meeting the Annual Payment Update thresholds each quarter prior to submission. Providers who want to be added to or who wish to update the email address that this notice is sent to, can email  QRPHelp@swingtech.com and be sure to include your facility name and CMS Certification Number (CCN) along with any requested email updates.
