Report Retention Change for IRF-PAI Provider Reports

The retention time period for the IRF-PAI Provider reports will change from 730 days to 60 days. Effective December 1, 2016, the reports requested from the IRF-PAI Provider report category in the CASPER Reporting application will only be stored 60 days. Any IRF-PAI Provider reports requested 60 days or more prior to December 1, 2016 will be permanently deleted from your CASPER folder. If you wish to retain these reports, you may print or save a copy prior to the report retention time period change. Any reports not printed or saved prior to the retention period time change will be permanently deleted. If you lose a copy that you'd wished to retain, you may recreate these reports on demand from the IRF-PAI Provider report category in the CASPER Reporting application.

For a list of affected reports in the IRF-PAI Provider report category or for detailed instructions on printing or saving CASPER reports, please refer to the CASPER Reporting User's Guide. The CASPER Reporting User's Guide is available on the 'Welcome to the CMS QIES Systems for Providers' web page and on the IRF-PAI User Guides and Training page on the QTSO website .
