  11. NNDSS Related Roundtable Sessions (continued) • NNDSS Low Incidence and International Quarantinable Disease Verification Protocol: Suggestions for Changes and Enhancements (June 4) • Describe the process for CDC to verify low incidence conditions based on the 03-ID-11 PS; proposed enhancement to the CDC MVPS to make the verification process more transparent or update 03-ID-11 PS about low incidence verification • Recommendation to discuss low incidence verification processes within NNC Criteria Workgroup (Surveillance Policy Subcommittee) • Informatics and CDC Emergency Response: Options for Standardizing Emergency Case Notification Messaging to CDC (June 5) • Presented strategies to utilize current NNDSS infrastructure for jurisdictions to submit standardized emergency case data for domestic events, special studies or evolving diseases • Presented options to use Generic v2 as a base for emergency response variables, or a stand-alone MMG containing data elements for emergency response

  20. Data Standardization Workgroup • Co-chairs: Molly Crockett (MA): Molly.Crockett@state.ma.us,  Laura Erhart (AZ): laura.erhart@azdhs.gov • Workgroup charge: To convene epidemiologists and informaticians to develop consensus on common definitions for core surveillance data elements to address jurisdictional variation • Workgroup mission: Improve data quality through the development and application of consensus definitions for the core data elements for general communicable disease surveillance

  21. Data Standardization Workgroup • Outputs: • Consensus reports pertaining to surveillance processes, definitions of data elements or other practices under consideration • Developed CSTE Issue Brief titled “Data Standardization: Dates of Importance to Public Health Surveillance” • Data elements in Generic v2.0 and Generic v2.0-based message mapping guides (MMGs) included in brief: Illness (Symptom) Onset Date, Report Dates, Laboratory-Related Dates, (Clinical) Diagnosis Date • Where applicable, recommend integration into future updates to GenV2 or as part of GenV3 • Aimed at standardizing data elements sent to CDC or used nationally • Develop a standardized, repeatable process for reaching a consensus definition • Meeting schedule: Monthly, fourth Friday 1-2 ET, next meeting is July 26 • CSTE staff contact: Shaily Krishan (skrishan@cste.org)

  22. NMI Evaluation Workgroup • Workgroup charge: To convene epidemiologists, informaticians, and surveillance experts from state, local and territorial jurisdictions participating in NMI Message Mapping Guide (MMG) implementation activities, and other key stakeholders to evaluate and identify improvements in processes related to MMG implementation, MMG onboarding, MMG maintenance, and Technical Assistance (TA) • Convened in April 2019, meets monthly • Next call: July 23, 3-4 ET • CSTE staff contact: Shaily Krishan (skrishan@cste.org)

  23. NMI Evaluation Workgroup Activities • Conduct structured workgroup discussions to develop the NMI Evaluation Assessment to address: • Barriers encountered by jurisdictions in the MMG implementation and/ or onboarding process • Usefulness of NMI technical assistance (TA) • Sustainability of jurisdiction's investments in overall MMG implementation, onboarding and maintenance activities • Satisfaction of jurisdictions with the overall experience of MMG implementation, onboarding, and technical assistance • Satisfaction of jurisdictions with CDC's efforts to standardize and harmonize MMGs, and to involve jurisdictions in the development and piloting of MMGs • Conducted MMG Implementation Listening Session with CSELS, CDC programs and states to discuss challenges that jurisdictions encounter during MMG implementation, and identify methods for CDC to make process improvements
