This module is designed specifically for Designated Agents (DAs): facility contracted vendors responsible for submitting data files to OSHPD and retrieving submission results on behalf of a healthcare facility.

This module builds on the information in Module 1: Getting Started and Module 2: Basics for All Users. Please complete those modules before starting this one.

This module contains the three lessons listed to the right. Each lesson uses a simple, real-world scenario to guide you through various tasks. These tasks include sample screens from MIRCal to give you an idea of what it's like to use the actual MIRCal application.

For best results, please complete the lessons in order, starting with “Submitting a File.”

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

• Submit a data file to OSHPD
• Retrieve and interpret your submission results
• Submit a corrected data file
