Action Item #4: Know NCDR Terminology and Acronyms!-Data Migration

Video Transcription

Data migration is defined as the process of moving data from the ACC Online Data Collection tool to a third-party vendor tool.  This process should only occur after an NCDR participant has completed the contract process with a third-party vendor.  The purpose of data migration is to ensure that all data entered into the ACC tool is consolidated into your new third-party vendor tool to centralize all data for submission.  The use of the ACC Online Data Collection tool simultaneously with a third-party vendor is strictly prohibited.  Once data migration is complete, access to the ACC Online Data Collection tool will be turned off.  Reverse data migration from a third-party vendor to the ACC Online Data Collection is not possible.  If an NCDR participant wishes to move back to the ACC Online Data Collection tool, it's the responsibility of the NCDR participant to maintain data files for the complete time  period the third-party vendor was used.

Video Summary

Data migration involves transferring data from the ACC Online Data Collection tool to a third-party vendor tool. This should only be done after NCDR participants have finalized contracts with the third-party vendor. The goal is to consolidate all data entered into the ACC tool into the new vendor tool for centralized submission. Using both the ACC tool and a third-party vendor simultaneously is not allowed. After data migration, access to the ACC tool will be stopped. Moving data back from the third-party vendor to the ACC tool is not possible, so NCDR participants must keep data files for the entire period the vendor was used.
