CMS announces end of emergency blanket data waiver for nursing homes
The Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS) said that effective August 14, nursing homes nationwide will again be required to submit staffing data through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) system, which allows the agency to collect “staffing information which impacts the quality of care residents receive,” CMS said in a press release.
The first initial submission to PBJ must cover the second quarter of the current calendar year.
