CMS support contractors are unable to meet contract deliverables and perform a variety of CMS functions (i.e. calculate scores, derive data, generate ICH CAHPS survey, perform evaluations.)

•  Data extracts used by research organizations and supporting agencies is not available.
•  Self Service Model for data recipients to access data directly via CMS/OEDA (Office of Enterprise Data & Analytics) Chronic Conditions Warehouse (CCW).  The OEDA contractor performing this work is ResDAC (Research Data Assistance Center) does not currently contain EQRS data.  
•  Renal Data System (RDS) extract is produced out of EQRS.  The data extraction contains quarterly non-clinical data (aka patient's journey).  Need to have a strategy to get this data into CCW.
