2011-2012 Hospital Program

 MONTHLY CREDITS:  Hospital Activities will be reported on the current Department Hospital Activities report form (hard copy) or submitted by Electronic input reporting system found on the Department’s Home Page.  The hospital reporting will be May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012.  Activities reported subsequent to May 1, 2011 will be recorded for the upcoming year’s credits.  Monthly reporting is the Posts means of receiving credit for all hospital activities conducted by the individual Posts during any given month.  Hospital activities reports should ONLY contain those activities performed for the month being reported.  Reports with multiple months included on the same form or input will be totaled and only be credited for the month in which they are received. Please do not duplicate or submit multiple reports for any given month. All monthly reports should consist of the totals for the entire month for each section of the report (you are not required to submit a report for each individual project, visit or activity, simply the totals). All reports, both hard copy and electronic must be received by Department and dated no later than the tenth of the following month (EXAMPLE:  Mays reports must be into Department no later than the 10th of June for you to get credit for May). When dating you reports please use the last day of the month for which you are reporting. (EXAMPLE: 05/31/2011 should appear in the date space provided for reports submitted for May (NOTE: the date is MM/DD/YYYY). If you put a date in your report that is during the “grace period” the computer will give you credit for the month you put in the date block and you will be mission a report. The computer and the director only see the date you put down.

REPORT SUBMISSION: Electronic and hard copy reports use the same format in the same order. HARD COPY: These reports allow the user to keep a running log of their activities performed with in that month; please ensure that the Totals at the bottom of the form for each of your activities are filled out. When submitting hard copies, if you use your own form ensure that you include each section of the approved report in the same order as the original to ensure that you get the proper credit for the proper area. Please WRITE LEGIBLY!! So we can give the Post, District and Chairman proper credit.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING:  Electronic reporting is done via the Department Website.  Ensure that all the spaces are filled out properly (especially the ate format MM/DD/YYYY) use the last day of the month for which you wish to receive credit, include something in the comments section, the report cannot be approved without it. Once you have submitted your data a confirmation form will appear, make a copy of this form for your records in case your report does not post to the website. If you find an error after you have submitted your report or find you forgot to enter data please submit another report with an explanation in the comments section so that it may be approved.
