Quarterly Sponsor Review | Every ninety (90) days Hyland will conduct a review with sponsors from each organization to maintain alignment around key metrics and assess customer experience. This ongoing and collaborative review is intended to allow concerns and feedback to be heard early and often, allowing time for any necessary corrective actions. |
Long-Term Release (LTR) Management | A designation given to certain Enhancement Packs (EP), generally once per year, to identify the builds Hyland will support for the longest duration according to Hyland’s Technical Support policies. EPs generally include enhancements, fixes and security updates provided to Customers multiple times per year. Customer has access to use IMRaaS for one (1) LTR Release annually for the number of products defined in the Order Form, using Hyland’s recommended approach through IMRaaS. |
Incident | Is defined as an unplanned interruption to Software or solution or reduction in the quality of the Software. For the purposes of IMRaaS, Incidents are defined as System Outages or a Service Request which:
|
Problem | Is defined as a cause, or potential cause, of one or more Issues. Hyland will perform a quarterly review of historical Issues to support the identification of underlying causes of issues through in-depth investigation. This focuses on root cause analysis and review of recurring Issues to improve outcomes and performance. |
Change | Changes are any addition (installation), modification or removal of anything that has an effect on existing Software or solutions. Changes are:
For any requested Changes, Customer is responsible to submit a Change Request via Hyland Community as an Issue. |
Release | Management of incremental software, documentation, processes or other component upgrades required to move from one software component version to another. As part of any Release update process, the Service Desk will review the impact and urgency to the Customer against the existing Software solution.

Response | Hyland actively engages in identifying root cause and makes recommendation(s) for how to correct. |
Resolution | Hyland receives/produces a response resolution plan and acts to implement a Response. A Resolution is complete when functionality is materially restored, or a recommendation is made to the Customer to remediate a Service Request or Change Request. If a configuration change is required to resolve an issue or implement a Change, the Service Desk will follow the change management practices established with the Customer. |
System Outage | The primary business function is stopped with no redundancy or backup. Deemed as an error that causes total or substantial Software failure, which means the Software is down and Customer is unable to access the Software in any way within its production environment. If a System Outage is caused by Changes requested by Customer to the production environment, Hyland may reverse or “undo” such Changes in order to revert to the previous functionality. Customer is responsible for reporting System Outages by submitting a Technical Support Case via Hyland Community or contacting Technical Support: https://community.hyland.com/login?returnUrl=/customer-portal/wiki/hyland-support/technical-support-phone-numbers |

Additionally, the Classification Solution will attempt to populate patient MRN and CSN by extracting the following data elements and looking for match in OnBase patient table:
Patient First Name;
Patient Last Name; and
Patient Date of Birth.
Additional patient demographic information (i.e. Patient First Name, Patient Last Name, Patient Date Of Birth, Date of Service) will be indexed to classified documents leveraging Software Autofill Keyword Sets.
External Date of Service could also be attempted to be extracted from external records.
Documents will be classified and separated through a scan queue that supports Intelligent MedRecords and Capture Process Designer.
Integrated single document retrieval from document hyperlinks within the appropriate context located in the patient record in Epic using the API integration between the Software and Epic; and
