Questions/Ideas

  • Do we know if there are any Any external systems that MHSU could potentially pull from?

    • DSR

  • On the reporting side, the business area may want to keep the . We could keep the survey category as an attribute (drop-down) in the form/data collection.

  • Timeline

    • Quarterly basis?

  • We have the template that is prepared by HSIAR/MoH, but are we able to get the template that is sent to HAs to fill out?
    • Delivery Site Registry (DSR) contains a few data points (i.e. Site_ID and Facility_Name). Need to figure out the workflow and confirm with the business area if they want this integration or are OK without it (might be too complex to integrate).
