Use the calendar below to keep track of what data you need to submit and by when. 

The period between February 1st - June 7th is considered “data finalization”. During this period, member hospitals complete a series of steps to ensure that all data for the previous birth year is entered completely and accurately. At the end of data finalization, CPQCC uses the complete data to generate and submit each hospital’s CCS Report on their behalf.

Our Data Center team is on hand throughout the data finalization process to assist members in meeting each deadline. In addition, members can refer to our NICU Data Resources.
