Data Collection, Reporting, and Validation Changes
HSAG assists Arizona hospitals with the data-related activities of the
Reporting Hospital Quality Data for Annual Payment Update (RHQDAPU) and Hospital
Quality Alliance (HQA) programs. This is accomplished through three primary activities:

education, resources, technical assistance, and tools; and serving as a liaison
in the data validation appeal process.
