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 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.
There are 2 areas that need your attention. Make sure you activate both agreements to ensure the Abtrace Proactive Monitoring tool works as expected.
Enabling EMAS
To enable EMAS, head over to your EMAS Manager (System Tools > EMAS Manager).
Activating the agreement in EMAS
Once your practice has been added to the Abtrace agreement, you will be contacted by Theo, asking you to Enable EMAS Manager. This will enable data sharing between your practice and Abtrace.
How to activate the agreement
