System Specific Enhancement 2015: Remove Direct Claim Updates within the Daily Batch Cycle Analysis and Design CR
The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to allow the Fiscal Intermediary Shared System (FISS) to remove direct claim updates from within the daily batch cycle. Switching to update a Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) file via an update file instead of applying individual claim updates within the daily cycle will allow for greater job concurrency (reducing the overall batch runtime), better auditing of claim changes, and greater recoverability, as the claim files can then be restored back to any subset of daily updates.
