Transfer of Ownership

Transferring Ownership of a Measure

  • Can I transfer ownership of a Measure to another user of the Measure Authoring Tool?

    Yes. Support Desk staff can transfer ownership of one or more Measures.

  • Why would I request a Transfer of Ownership of a Measure?

    Transfer of Measure ownership may occur when the current owner will no longer be with the organization or has new responsibilities within an organization.

    To request a Transfer of Ownership, the current or desired owner must contact the MAT Support Desk. To facilitate the Transfer of Ownership, the following information is required:

    • Name of the Measure(s) to be transferred
    • Desired timeframe for completion of transfer (must be a current or future date)

    To complete the Transfer of Ownership, the current owner and future owner will need to log out of the MAT. The Support Desk will help coordinate a time to complete the Transfer of Ownership. Once the Transfer of Ownership is complete, an e-mail will be provided confirming its completion.
