Nursing home providers can upload PDF (portable document format) documents in the “Online Incident Report” (OIR) portal for initial and five working days follow-up reporting for facility-reported incidents. The department added document upload functions to initial and follow-up reporting screens. Provide as much information as possible at the time of reporting and upload. The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid “Exhibit 358” Initial Report and “Exhibit 359” Follow-Up Investigation Report are recommended documents to upload. Below are the links for these exhibits. The department formatted the exhibits so providers can download them, enter information, and upload into OIR at the time of reporting. Save the exhibits and any other documents uploaded as PDFs.
