FY 19 January Deleted Occ Mix Data	"This tab contains the FY 19 January occupational mix survey data for hospitals “deleted” from the FY19 January S-3 Data PUF tab.  As of January 31, 2018, the hospitals' occupational mix data are ""deleted"" from the FY 2019 wage index for 2 possible reasons: 1) the hospital's Worksheet S-3 wage data is ""deleted"" from the FY 19 January S-3 Data PUF tab, and therefore, its occupational mix data cannot be included in the wage index without accompanying S-3 wage data, or 2) the hospital's Worksheet S-3 wage data is included in the FY 2019 wage index on the FY 19 January S-3 Data PUF tab, but its occupational mix data is aberrant.
