Quality data processing on hold
Any data files submitted to the FTP for processing after the February 14, 2020 deadline will not be included in NACOR's 2019 CMS data submission. Data processing is on hold, while AQI reviews data integrity and auditing per CMS regulations for a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) and Qualified Registry (QR). FTP processing will resume in early April. If you submit a file to the FTP during this interim period, the file will be processed as usual when the hold is lifted. If there is an issue with your practice's data, submit a help desk ticket by emailing nacorsupport@asahq.org.
