Guidance on File Reviews Impacted by COVID-19

If files are impacted by COVID-19:

1. Submit files from applicable look-back period based on the submission date, excluding full months of impacted files from March 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021. File review will be based on all available files, which may result in low denominators and affect the organization’s overall performance. Normal file review rules apply.
2. Extend the look-back period by up to 6 months to capture eligible files. If the number of eligible files is still insufficient, work with your Accreditation Survey Coordinator (ASC) on options.
