Electronic submission of staffing data through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) is required of all long-term care facilities starting July 1. The last day to submit data for fiscal quarter four (July 1 through September 30) is November 14, 2016. Nursing homes can register now in the PBJ system to prepare:

• Obtain a CMSNet User ID if you do not already have one for other QIES applications
• Obtain a PBJ QIES Provider ID for PBJ system access

Visit QTSO e-University and select the PBJ option for training modules and step by step registration instructions. More information is available on the Staffing Data Submission PBJ webpage.
