*The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) recognizes that workflow changes may be required to capture data for OP-22 and therefore not all hospitals may be able to report data for calendar year 2015. Those able to track the data for the entire calendar year 2015 are expected to report. Those that have data available for the entire calendar year 2014 are encouraged to report. The submission deadline for calendar year 2014 is November 1, 2015. Submission deadlines for calendar years 2015 and 2016 are anticipated based on previous reporting periods. All hospitals are expected to report on a full year's worth of data for calendar year 2016.
**The encounter period for OP-27 is limited to Q4 and Q1. The submission deadline for data from Q4 2015 and Q1 2016 is anticipated based on previous reporting periods.
***Although the denominator for IMM-2 is limited to inpatient discharges during October through March (Q4 and Q1), data submission is also expected for Q2 and Q3.
****The hospital submission deadlines for EDTC are determined by the state Flex Program. The deadline for states to submit data to FORHP is one month after the end of the reporting period.
