In 2012, based on hospital feedback, HSCRC staff added to the Schedule IRS template a column (Col 11 Percent of Rotation) in which hospitals may report a percentage of the rotation period for which a resident worked on patient care activities at the hospital. *Note that a hospital's IRS Schedule must reconcile with the hospital's IRIS (Intern and Resident Information System) Report submitted to the Medicare fiscal intermediary. If the reports do not reconcile, the hospital must submit a supplementary worksheet to HSCRC staff explaining the reasons for the differences between the reports.

Outpatient Services Survey​ ​lists all outpatient services at regulated hospitals that are:

  • Owned (more than 50%) by the hospital regardless of whether it is a regulated or unregulated service, no matter where the services are located, or
  • Not owned by the hospital but located in the principal hospital buildings or in other buildings in which regulated hospital services are provided.
