Beginning in May 2021, SSAs and CMS locations began a phased transition to iQIES. iQIES is CMS’ tracking, analysis, and data repository system for survey and certification, and other functions. It consolidates and replaces functionality from the QIES, CASPER, and ASPEN legacy systems.
CMS’ iQIES team has developed a training and support plan to help all State Agency and CMS staff prepare for the launch and transition to the iQIES platform. While most of the training does not impact nursing home providers, these changes will result in a change of location for ePOC, the system many states use for survey plans of correction.
AHCA will continue to monitor and share information when any provider training is made available, including when a new role for ePOC is made available in iQIES. Questions about this transition or obtaining access in iQIES may be sent to
