Agenda

ItemsWho

Phase 3 Testing Timeline

Scott L.
  • 07/12/2021 - Phase 3 (Clinical Codes/2728) live in production.
  • 07/12/2021 - 09/01/2021 - Resubmission of Clinical Data Files (September to December).
  • Resubmission of Clinical Data Files (September - December 2020) Countdown: 19 days left
  • Timeline
    • Encourage everyone to complete large data submissions prior to the closure of the clinical data
    • Allows us to react to any large data submissions early in the process
Production SupportMichael
  • Continuing to work tickets coming in
  • Worked with Vlad on a few patient mappings that needed verification
  • Working on a few NRAA tickets
  • Worked with Heather Moore on a few issues regarding patient mapping
  • Working wit Kathleen on data clean up and how to be more proactive with regard to the data
  • Continuing to work on normal prod support issues
  • No blockers
EDI 2020 Data SubmissionsPreston
  • Encountered some issues this week with some tokens being generated from 9pm - 4am causing some submissions during that time to sometimes fail
  • A fix was put in place yesterday about 8pm eastern time; since then there have been no token issues

EDI 2020 DATA SUBMISSIONS

INDEPENDENT 2020 DATA SUBMISSIONS

DeploymentsYvette
  • 08/10 deployment: Handle null pointer exception in batch
    • Feedback affecting feedback to NRAA Detailed logging for patient admission data anomalies (99999) errors (e.g., data from DaVita)
  • 08/12 deployment: 
    • Fix for oauth Batch Token refresh discrepancy
    • It was set to expire every 16th hours and between 1am and 8am mountain time; when the tokens were refreshing there was an issue and those file were failing
    • This is oauth token, not the token you use to submit your files
  • Future Deployments
    • Defect coming up in the next iteration for the code - 13510 (At least one citizenship is required when primary type of treatment is living related, living unrelated, deceased, or unknown)
    • Defect to correct the issue where you submit data and you say that there is no clinical data and the checkbox is not being checked in the UI
    • Both above fixes will be in either Thursday, 8/19 or Tuesday, 8/24 deployments
    • EDI's should have enough time to resubmit clinical data plans through batch
    • On average each deployment is a couple of hours
Round tableScott L.

DaVita - No updates to report at this time

FKC - No updates to report at this time

  • Question - On the clinical depression module, is it only going to allow you to submit data for clinics that are open and certified as of the Submission Date?
    • Yvette will look into this. She thinks in EQRS, the validation was removed prior to go live or shortly after
      • Yvette request for Kathleen to provide more information
      • If the facility is closed that entire assessment period? 
      • Is it a month they are open?
    • A request may have come from the QIP side to just accept the data even though it doesn't meet the criteria for the measure
    • The original intent was to not allow if a facility or patient didn't meet the criteria for the measure, not to accept the data
  • Revathy wanted to follow up on the no clinical data fix
    • Will they be asked to submit data only on a specific date? Are we sticking to the assigned submission days in place right now?
    • Scott suggest that they could just send the data in and not have to follow the assigned submission days
    • At this point, for 2020 data, no scheduling or coordinating between the submitters is required

DCI - Vlad is out of the office

  • On 7/30/2021 received error 13510 - At least one citizenship is required when primary type of treatment is living related, living unrelated, deceased, or unknown
  • EQRS EDSM-354 EQRSEDSM-354 - Getting issue details... STATUS

NRAA -  

    • Suggest to the Program about doing an impromptu two week extension on the 9/1/21 because recent issues or potential blockers
    • Potential blocker? - two days of not being able to process last week that prevented people from being able to get work done
    • Potential blocker? - this week had a number of issues, satellite had all kinds of problems that Michael mentioned above
    • Heather Moore's team working hard to try to meet the 9/1/21 deadline
    • Scott suggest this two week extension be discussed with Ahmar
    • Howard is not saying they have to have the extension but is was a suggestion
    • What was the root cause of the issue that Michael worked with Satellite?
      • It was something with the org microservice and it wasn't processing that before it was trying to process the other day
      • They were still looking back at their feedback files from 728
      • They were resubmitted last night and 100% went through
    • The second ticket - the data errors were appropriate
MiscellaneousScott L.
  • REMINDER: if need to email the help desk, using the following email address: 

qnetsupport-esrd@hcqis.org with URGENT in front of subject line

  • Data topic - Michael
    • When EQRS went live, on of the features at that time was that EDSM would allow EDI submissions to update data but that included updating with null
    • Want to stop things from being updated appropriately, such as identification numbers that would help us match things
    • While researching and finding the root cause, coming up with a plan as to what we will change, need to be mindful of what you are sending and what's in your system
    • Howard will work with Kelly on writing up a communication on what is going on so at least people are aware
  • Distribution Email question - Kelly
    • Scott - making a few more changes on the DNS side and then should be able to send it out sometime early next week

Next meeting scheduled for  


  • Next EDI Submission Testing Meeting
