    1. Chart-abstracted data is due quarterly (3 months after the end of the quarter), reporting monthly, aggregate data points for each quarter.

    2. Existing organizations that did not submit data prior to CY2025 need to accept their DDSP invitation and complete the onboarding process in order to enter data for CY2025. Contact hcooryx@jointcommission.org to request the invitation be resent.

  2. Open/close dates and deadlines are shown within the platform

  3. To be considered for an exemption from submitting chart-abstracted data requirements, organizations must complete and submit an extenuating circumstance request; all forms must be received at The Joint Commission no later than thirty (30) days prior to quarter close applicable to the request.

    1. See 2. General ORYX Information--Basics Q2.8 and Q2.9 for more information on Extenuating Circumstance Requests (ECRs).
