Annual Facility Surveys

At the beginning of each survey year, a new facility survey(s) must be completed to reflect data from the prior calendar year. For example, at the beginning of 2025, an acute care hospital completes a 2024 Annual Hospital Survey containing data from 2024.

Deadline: March 1st

After March 1st, facilities will not be able to  enter new monthly reporting plans until completion of the applicable survey(s).
