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.
| - Meeting with data contractors went well. Contractors state they will be able to use the NCC report that is being produced for UM-KEEC and are working directly with the NCC.
