Announcement(s)	Scott	We've updated the meeting invites again for this EDI Touchpoint and Wednesday's Program Working Group meeting. The EDI Touchpoint Status meeting will focus on more of the IT and ISG side of EQRS The Program Working Group meeting will focus more on the Program side
Error Trends	Michael	2021 Data Submission Error Trend report status Recording for this discussion: 3:05 - 7:15 (listen for further details on report) Michael emailed the latest Error Trend spreadsheet report to the EDIs and CMS folks Report ran through the end of February; including everything since resubmitting since July with the top 10 errors per EDI The report is broken down by patient and clinical Michael is working on the repository that list the error and what could be the next steps on how to resolve the error
PI Feature Updates	Scott	Prod Preview Accounts Expiring Password Emails DaVita's account was suspended due to lack of activity but the change to the process should not have suspended DaVita's account Per Scott, when the feature that would remove someone's roles if they didn't log into EQRS for 60 days that same deployment happened to prod preview Scott received an email thread where Nathan lost his access and roles to DaVita facilities and he was asking what can be done to remedy that? When prod preview was first set up, there was a back end process that was followed were bulk role assignments were performed and pushed roles to Nathan rather than Nathan having to make all of the request one by one on his own Today we don't have that process and will need to plan and develop this feature again Question from Steve Goodman - if we were to develop a new feature down the line and Nathan needs access, how long are we expecting individual requests for thousands of roles for multiple facilities to be handled? Per Scott if it needs to be developed, CMS will need to write a feature and prioritize it with development Michael's team is working on Corporate Role so that may allow Nathan to get the access he may need Steve suggested have a user set up with all the roles and using that role to clone Per Scott, he is not saying it can't be done but it will take some planning and resources The 60 day limit is system wide Per Nathan he wanted to know if the other EDIs received an email notification about their password expiring? Nathan did not receive a notification Nathan will send Scott his account name so Scott can research Per Kathleen, Tracy Kennedy set up their pre prod accounts After researching, Scott sees days of Nathan's email bouncing back. Scott will send Nathan the bounce back email so it can be looked into on both sides Updated Tribe List On the Communications Hub - Resources and Reference page, down at the bottom of the big grid, there's a row that say's new patient tribe and race codes that were added. When you download the tribe list in Documentation Repository, those tribes aren't there The races and tribes spreadsheet has been updated in the EQRS Communications Hub confluence page as of 3/7/22 Vaccinations - Vaccination Timeline Schedule.docx Vaccination Data Guide now available in the Documentation Repository in the Vaccination section Scott requests that the EDIs provide feedback on the vaccination user's guide to determine from a technical standpoint, if the guide has enough information for the EDIs to start to determine their schedule and how much time their teams will need to develop the new work for the vaccinations module Documentation Repository - EQRS Communications Hub
