It’s That Time of the Year Again!
We are in the process of compiling information to send out the invoices for WISP user licenses. You will receive the invoices in the mail in the next couple of weeks. Here are some very important items to note:
- The price of the WISP user licenses is unchanged from last year. To see the pricing structure for the licenses, please see the Policies and Procedures Manual: http://icalliances.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/HMIS-Policies-and-Procedures-May-2014.pdf
- The price of an ART license is $85.
- Any user licenses that are assigned to a user and have not been used in the past 90 days will be assessed a $250 non-use fee. You can avoid this fee by either a) logging in with the user license or b) requesting that your regional HMIS coordinator remove the user from the system, thereby removing the license. If you are unsure of the status of a user license, please email your regional coordinator of the WISP Help desk:wisp@icalliances.org
- If your agency mailing address and or contact person for the invoice has changed since last year, please let us know so we can update your records: wisp@icalliances.org.

TIPS AND TRICKS
What’s your Data Completeness Score?
Wondering if you’ve completed all of the required data elements for your clients? There’s an ART report for that! Check out the “2014 Data Standards – Data Completeness by User” reports in the “Data Quality and Completeness Reports” folder. (These reports factor in the new data elements, so you’ll want a start date on or after 10/1/2014.)
If your completeness score is less than 95%, it is time to start fixing! Look for Missing fields in the “Client Data” tabs to locate data elements missing from client entries/ service starts.
