ISG is working on CCSQ Data & Analytics modernization tasks that include a Centralized Data Repository (CDR) in the HCQIS Cloud and an implementation of the new CCSQ Analytics Platform (CAP) for CCSQ users. The CDR will offer convenient, secure, and more timely access to CCSQ Quality data, as well as access to Claims data sourced from CMS systems of record. The CAP will include analytic tools with various data wrangling, data visualization, basic statistics, and advanced modeling capabilities.
Goals include:
- Improving Data & Analytic experiences for CCSQ users
- Modernizing current analytic platforms and data repositories
- Improving data timeliness
- Reducing data duplication
- Simplifying/automating data access request process
- Maturing data governance
- Increasing data quality and security
- Increasing collaboration and data sharing for internal/external stakeholders.

QUICK START GUIDE
This briefly and succinctly describes the essential steps to getting started with Quality Analytics
Step 1: In order to have access to data in CDR a Data Use Agreement (DUA) needs to be in place and provided to the CDR team.
- Work with your COR to get your DUA established
- The COR should send the DUA information to the HCQIS_Data@hcqis.org mailbox for provisioning access to the CDR
Step 2: Get HARP ID. For instructions on the process, refer to the HARP page.
Step 3: Once the HARP account has been created, log in to HARP and request SAS Viya via a HARP User Role.
- For general instructions on this process, visit the HARP page.
- For Security Official (SO) specific instructions, see SO section below.
Step 4: The organization's SO approves the user role request.
Step 5: User can access applicable platforms and tools, such as SAS Viya, after a 24 hour period following the confirmation email.
Once you have created your HARP account (For instructions on the process, refer to the HARP page), or if you have an EIDM account, the next step is to request a SAS Viya User Role. For specific instructions on how to request a Security Officer role, visit the SAS Viya SO Role Request Process page. For instructions on how to request a SAS Viya Viewer or SAS Viya Analyst role, expand the steps below to view the process.
Note, a "Viewer" is someone who has the capability to view reports and dashboard created in SAS Visual Analytics/Visual Statistics. This group of users cannot run any SAS code, create or edit reports in SAS Visual Analytics/Visual Statistics, or conduct any text analytics. This group is for managers/directors/executives who may need to view reports that an analyst has created.
An "Analyst" is someone who has the ability to write and run SAS code to process and analyze data using SAS Studio, create and edit reports in SAS Visual Analytics, run text analytics using SAS Visual Text Analytics, load data into CAS using the various SAS Viya applications.
Each organization needs to designate a Security Official (SO) who will be responsible for approving individuals for access to QualityNet Analytics services, including SAS Viya, within their organization. Below are the steps for requesting to be assigned as an SO. The submitted request will be sent to the Master Slack SO for approval. Once the request is approved, the organization SO will have full access to approve members of your organization for access to SAS Viya.
Once you have created your HARP account (For instructions on the process, refer to the HARP page), or if you have an EIDM account, the next step is to request the SAS Viya SO role. Expand the steps below to view the process.
