DOH Activates ACF Statistical Report for Fourth Quarter of 2019

The Department of Health (DOH) has issued a Dear Administrator Letter (DAL) announcing the activation of the Quarterly Statistical Information Report (QSIR) for the fourth quarter of 2019. The DAL was issued along with two attachments, the Definition of Terms and Data Entry Instructions.

All ACFs must complete and submit the report, which covers the time frame of Oct. 1, 2019 to Dec. 31, 2019, by Jan. 31, 2020. Failure to submit the report on time may result in enforcement action and the imposition of civil penalties.

Additionally, ACFs with a certified bed capacity of 80 beds or more, in which 20 percent or more of the resident population are persons with serious mental illness, must provide additional information as described under 18 NYCRR §487.10(e)(3).

See the DAL for additional information on these requirements and instructions on how to access the report on the Health Commerce System (HCS).

Members are reminded to save and submit the report upon completion.
