6.  PERFORMING AN ELECTRONIC CHART REVIEW

b.  Uploading the Data File to the WebAudit 

Now that you have a data file (refer to preceding Section 6a for creating the file), you need to bring it into the WebAudit for data cleaning and report generation.  How is that done?  Easy.  Follow these steps:

1.    Request and activate a WebAudit account if you do not already have one.

2.    Log in to the WebAudit, using your user name and password.

3.     Select “Diabetes WebAudit” from the Applications List.

4.     Click on the  "Upload Data" button.

5.     Click on the “Browse..” button and navigate to the data file (.rec file), then click on “Open”.  

6.     When the .rec file has been selected, click on "Upload".                          

7.     If the upload of the data file is successful, you will receive a message on the screen telling you that the file

        was successfully uploaded.  You will also receive an email confirmation.

        If the upload is unsuccessful, you will receive an on-screen message telling you that the file upload attempt

        was unsuccessful, with a brief description of the problem.

8.     Once the file has been successfully uploaded, you may proceed with checking the data quality (see

        Section 7) and/or producing reports (see Section 8).
