Last week, there was an increase from 22% to 25%. Phase 2 testing has been pushed from 4/9/2021 to 4/23/2021 to prioritize security findings. PP2-3 has been refreshed with production data on 27 Mar 2021 Need to refresh once again prior to 4/23 for Phase 2 testing. Teams are working on automating the refresh process. SemanticBits is still working thru Helpdesk tickets that were a result of the Phase 1 codes going live.

Update services intermittently stop but appear to be still running.	Same as above (coverage termination).
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.	Lisa and Curt meeting with COR of data contractors to determine if data that NCC is producing for UM-KEEC will meet their needs.
