QualityNet Checklist Index
Changes from the QIO Clinical Warehouse concerning dates or procedures are posted to these pages as soon as possible after their release - so, check these pages OFTEN!
  II - Data Submission

A.  Submit your data as early as possible to allow time to correct errors.
Errors that must be corrected will be listed as CRITICAL ERRORS in the Data Submission Detail Report. The DATA are locked at 11:59 pm on the submission deadline date. 

B.   Do not wait until the 15th to submit data. There is an increased risk of data not being accepted into the QIO Clinical Data Warehouse due to the volume of data being submitted and processed.

C.   CART users run “Case Complete” before exporting data from CART; you must have clicked on the export tab to get the option to run Case Complete (found on the Export Tab).

D.   CART users select Completed Cases Only. Do not leave the selection in the default mode of “All Cases” because excluded cases will also be transmitted.

E.   CART users must then UPLOAD the data via QualityNet. 

1.  Log-in to QualityNet.

2.  Under "File Exchange & Data Upload" (left column, 3rd Gray Box):

  • Select "QIO Clinical Warehouse Data Upload" (2nd on list)

  • This will display the "QIO Clinical Data Warehouse Upload" page.  Select your Medicare ID by highlighting the number in this box.

  • Select the "Upload Files" button.

  • Answer "OK" to the "Are you sure you want to submit this data for monitoring purposes?  Click OK to continue." message box.

  • An "Open" box will display.  Navigate to the export/xml directory under your current version of cart.  If CART 2.2  is installed on your PC, the path would be:  c:/cart22/export/xml.  Select all files.  To do this, highlight the first file, hold the shift key, and highlight the last file.  If done correctly, all file names will be blue and be listed in the file name box. Click the "Open " button.

  • You will receive a confirmation e-mail entitled "QIO Clinical Warehouse files have been processed."  Follow the instructions in the e-mail.  SAVE THIS E-MAIL FOR YOUR RECORDS.  If there is ever a question about your submission, the QualityNet Help Desk will need this information to assist you.

ž    ALLOW ENOUGH TIME TO CORRECT POTENTIAL ERRORS (CRITICAL ERRORS) IF SUBMITTING CLOSE TO A DATA SUBMISSION DEADLINE!
