Invite New User Notes:

  • they have accepted the invitation, use the Remove User instructions below

  • they have not accepted the invitation, use the Withdraw Invite instructions below

  • The invitation is only for the intended recipient and cannot be shared with other users

  • Once the invitation link is used to register and log in to the platform, the invitation link cannot be reused to access the Direct Data Submission Platform.

Additional Information for User Management:

Logins

• Organization’s are responsible for all user activity within their organization DDSP workspace. Logins must be created specific to the user that will utilize the login. Do not create a generic user. For example: QIdept@healthcareentity.com or vendorproduct@vendor.com

Passwords

• Passwords expire every 90-days. You do not need to access the Platform every 90-days, but once your password expires you will be required to reset it the next time you attempt to login.

• Forget your password? Depending on what login screen you are presented with, either click the ‘Trouble logging in?’ or ‘Forgot Password?’ underneath the password box. On the next page, enter your email address and the DDSP will send you an email with instructions to reset your password.

• Users email security system may cause issues with password reset.

User permissions

• User permissions are maintained within the DDSP. There are individual permissions for:

  • Signatory Authority

  • Security Administrator

  • eCQM Submission Module

  • Chart Abstracted Measure Submission Module

    • See table below for a detailed list of each of the available permissions by Module and what the user can and cannot access, along with what they are able to modify within the DDSP.

Signature Authority

1. From a Joint Commission perspective, the role of the Signature Authority is solely and specifically for onboarding and signing of legal documents.

2. Once initial onboard is complete, the Signature Authority is simply another user on the platform.

3. Any staff assigned the role of Security Administrator is able to manage users as needed (more than one security admin is strongly encouraged).

4. In most cases, a change in staff does not warrant re-signing/reassigning the signatory, as they had the authority to act as signatory on behalf of the organization at the time of onboarding.

5. One known reason for changing the Signature Authority is if an organization merges with a new entity, and that new entity is a different legal owner and requires an updated legal agreement.

6. If your organization does identify it’s appropriate to change the Signature Authority based on the above, please submit a support ticket via the “Need Help?” icon.
