FY 17 Final Deleted Occ Mix Data	"This tab contains the FY 17 Final occupational mix survey data for hospitals deleted from the FY17 Final S-3 Data PUF tab.  As of June 27, 2016, the hospitals' occupational mix data are ""deleted"" from the FY 2017 wage index for 2 possible reasons: 1) the hospital's Worksheet S-3 wage data is ""deleted"" from the FY 17 Final 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 2017 wage index on the FY 17 Final S-3 Data PUF tab, but its occupational mix data is aberrant.
