All data submission must be successfully submitted no later than 11:59 PM on these dates.

Please note the following.

  • For the first submission, survey vendors should start submitting their data file for the October 2009 sample month as soon as possible. Approved vendors are encouraged to submit the data file for each sample month as soon as possible after data collection and processing activities for the sample month are completed to allow adequate time to re-submit data in case resubmissions are necessary. You may submit files as many times as needed as long as the final file submission is successfully submitted by the data submission deadline.
  • After you have uploaded your files, you will receive an email confirmation within several minutes notifying you whether your file upload was successful. If you do not receive this e-mail message, please contact the Data Center at hhcahps@rti.org
  • All submitted files will go through a validation check. You will receive an e-mail confirmation message after the validation check is conducted notifying you whether your file has been accepted or rejected. The confirmation e-mail message will contain a hyperlink to a Data Submission Report which will allow you to see details of the validation check and any file errors that were identified.
  • Data Submission Reports will also be available on the project Web site at https://homehealthcahps.org. Survey vendors can access the reports by selecting the Data Submission tab and the “View Data Submission Reports” link. If you do not receive an e-mail message confirming that your file was successfully uploaded or you cannot view the reports on files that you have submitted, please contact the Data Center at hhcahps@rti.org
