entry into the EHR system.<\/li>\n<li>Next, the information goes through validation checks to correct any missing or inaccurate data.<\/li>\n<li>After validation, the OASIS file is securely submitted to iQIES (Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System) for CMS evaluation.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, CMS reviews and converts the data into quality scores, which help measure the agency\u2019s
