In this lesson, we'll walk through submitting a patient-level data file to OSHPD.

Before you can submit a data file, you need to log on to MIRCal (see Accessing MIRCal in Module 2: Basics for All Users). Designated Agent access to MIRCal is granted by OSHPD.

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

• Create a reporting profile
• Select the submission type (test or formal)
• Attach the data file
• Submit the file

Sam works at HDA, the Designated Agent (facility contracted vendor) for CBT2, a large hospital in Central California. He is the individual responsible for submitting CBT2's patient-level data to OSHPD. He logs on to MIRCal, and that's where this lesson begins.
