Electronic Staffing Data Collection
The Affordable
Care Act requires CMS to collect electronic staffing data from nursing centers.
The Act requires this data to be auditable and verifiable. The information is
intended to collect direct care staff (employed and contracted), employee
turnover and tenure, and must include census data and case mix. Earlier this
year, CMS announced they would require this information to be submitted by all
nursing centers starting July 1, 2016. CMS will continue to require providers to submit Forms CMS 671 & CMS
672 at the time of survey. The data from these Forms will be used in calculating
the Staffing Domain of the Five Star Rating System until late 2017 or early
2018.
