SLACK

This section is an introduction about Slack. The following is information which is placeholder text but could also be used to help populate this section. However it is not approved for use and thus only serves as placeholder text in this instance.

Slack is a collaboration tool that will be available for use within the HCQIS Community on November 18, 2019. HCQIS Atlassian users are the initial group of people authorized to access HCQIS Slack. The criteria for additional groups to be given access in the future is being evaluated by CMS.

Slack will be HARP integrated, thus leveraging a different user account than what is currently used to access the HCQIS Atlassian tool suite. If you plan to use HCQIS Slack, you must obtain a HARP ID and submit a request for a Slack user role. During the initial rollout you can submit your request for a Slack user role by providing your HARP ID to your Security Point of Contact (SPOC) by November 5^th . Your SPOC will work with the Slack team for the bulk assignment of Slack roles to eligible users.  Email communications with detailed instructions will be distributed in late October 2019.

Instructions on requesting a HARP ID can be found on the HARP page.

Please contact the HIDS Slack team via email at HCQIS-Ops-Tools@hcqis.org with any Slack-related questions.
