titleGetting Started

Who will get FileCloud?

Based on your scope of work, organizations may request access to FileCloud by reaching out to their COR with a business need for the service, the number of users, and a Security Official (SO) ID. This will initiate the process. If you have any questions, please send an email to QualityNet_IT_Services@hcqis.org. If your organization has already been approved for FileCloud in HARP, you can proceed with requesting a FileCloud user role below.

Please consult the FileCloud Usage Guidance Document for information on how FileCloud should be leveraged by your organization.

QUICK START GUIDE

Requesting a FileCloud User Role

If you do not yet have a HARP account or an EIDM account, register for a HARP ID. (For instructions on the process, refer to the HARP page)

Step 1: Once your HARP account has been created, log into HARP and request a FileCloud account via User Roles:

  • Select the “QualityNet-FileCloud” Program
  • Select your Organization
  • Select a FileCloud Member role (Security Officer (SO) or User)

Step 2: Your organization's SO approves the user role request. You will be notified via email when your role has been approved.

Step 3: Log in to FileCloud at https://filecloud.hcqis.org using your HARP credentials. This will create your user profile, and you will have access to the My Files folder.

Step 4: Send your SO your HARP ID. This step is required to gain access to team folders.

Tip
titleAccessing Team Folders

Once your SO has provided your HARP ID to the FileCloud Onboarding Team and you login to FileCloud, you will have access to team folders.

SOs should forward HARP IDs to the FileCloud Onboarding Team via email
