Scope

The directory includes 922 rows in the Ohio Provider Information file. Child records are joined using the CMS Certification Number.

Sources

Provider Information, Ownership, Penalties, Health Deficiencies, Fire Safety Deficiencies, Survey Summary, MDS and claims quality measures, state inspection cut points, SNF quality reporting, swing-bed, and FY 2026 VBP files were supplied. Current public pages primarily display provider, ownership, penalty, health, and fire-safety fields.

Labels

Deficiencies are labeled official inspection findings. An abuse icon is shown as a CMS data flag. Neither is restated as proof of abuse, negligence, or legal liability. Penalties are reported CMS enforcement records.

Dates and limitations

Files are labeled August 2026, except the supplied swing-bed file labeled July 2026. Provider processing dates are retained per profile. Files were retrieved for this build on 2026-08-30. CMS can correct and update records.
