TRAC-IT Update 2023-03-07

Local System Managers, Contract Agencies and Independent Contractors: 

After some relatively quiet TRAC-IT weeks, I have several updates for you this week. 

Enhanced Billing Extracts

SSG continues to work with a small group of stakeholders to improve the billing extracts. We will be scheduling a webinar, most likely in early April, to show and explain the new extracts. User testing of the new fiscal components and extracts is expected to take place in May, with the enhanced extracts available in TRAC-IT in June. 

EHR Uploads

• EHR Interest Survey – Thirty-eight (38) agencies, including 25 local lead agencies and 13 contract provider agencies, responded to the EHR Interest Survey. Of those, 28 agencies (17 local lead agencies and 11 contract provider agencies) indicated interest in pursuing an EHR upload. For some respondents, their final decision will depend on the enhanced billing extract. 
• EHR Kick-Off Meeting – If you are considering using TRAC-IT’s EHR upload functionality, there will be a kick-off informational meeting on Friday, March 24, 2:00 – 3:30. Please save the date. A meeting link will be forthcoming. 
• Data Dictionary – An updated Data Dictionary will be provided during the EHR Kick-Off and posted to our website at that time. Most updates are related to fields required for the enhanced billing extracts.

Local System Managers

A new user role is available in TRAC-IT to provide additional access to federal reports, extracts and other reports. The Local System Reporting role can be assigned to users within the local lead agency.
