Please upload census list two weeks before your facility's scheduled interview date. Do not exclude any resident for any reason (including length of stay, physical condition, or cognitive ability). In accordance with HIPAA and the HITECH Act, all resident census lists must be submitted using our secure upload link. Do not email any resident information.

Prior to submitting your facility census list, please remember the following:

• Nursing facility short-stay residents are defined as residents whose intended length of stay is 30 days or less (the actual length of stay may be longer).
• For nursing facility census information, resident name, date of birth, and admission date are used for quality assurance purposes, as well as matching the collected survey data to Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment information for risk adjustment.
• For residential care facilities, indicate if each resident is on a Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver or MyCare Ohio Waiver (you can also indicate Unsure, or Not on a Waiver).

For assistance uploading your census list, please contact the Census Coordinator at 888-628-3681.
