Setting up data extracts (EMIS)

Setting up data extracts requires a bit of coordination between EMIS, your practice and Abtrace. It is a multi-step process and we have broken these down for you below.

Adding your practice to the Abtrace agreement

First, we need to ask EMIS to add your practice to the Abtrace data sharing agreement. We do this through what is called the Data Center Extract Configuration file.

We will be doing this on our end and will let you know when to activate it on your end.

Step 1: Enabling EMAS

To enable EMAS, head over to System Tools then EMAS Manager

Step 2: Activating the agreement in EMAS

Once your practice has been added to the Abtrace agreement, you will be notified by email, asking you to enable EMAS Manager. This will enable data sharing between your practice and Abtrace.

How to activate the agreement

To do this, you need to activate Abtrace Proactive Monitoring in the Agreements section of the EMAS data sharing manager. Follow the steps below (or have a look at the EMIS NOW guide).

1. To access the Data Sharing Manager, click , hover over Configuration, and then select Data Sharing Manager.

2. Select Data Distribution (bottom left) then Abtrace Proactive Monitoring.

Any active agreements are displayed with a green tick, while any agreements that have been created, but not yet activated, are displayed with a red cross.

3. On the ribbon, click Activate Agreement. The agreement is activated for your organisation.

You can't view information from other organisations until they also activate the required agreement.
