These HIS records will be submitted to the Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (
QIES) Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP) system.
Since these assessments have assessment reference dates (ARDs) prior to the certification date, CMS does not have the authority to receive them into Q1ES ASAP, and so they should not be submitted to the
QIES ASAP system.
Facility staff can locate these QM calculations and reports where MDSs are submitted to the
QIES ASAP system via the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) welcome screen.
