Message Mapping Guide (MMG) Process Overview

Education by NEDSS Project staff to CDC Program

• NETSS extract

• What’s a MMG and what does it consist of?

• Repository of data elements

• Data elements represented in HL7: how are they different and what impact should they expect?

• Interplay OSELS services (i.e., PHIN VADS, Metadata registry, DMB, CDS, etc.)

• Concept of relational database vs flat file

• How does it differ from NETSS?

• What are the benefits for CDC programs?

• Who’s data?

MMG Support by CDC Program:

• Provide data elements CDC is requesting the states to send (This is used to create a draft MMG).

• Participate in addressing questions and comments during the external review (SiteScape).

• Participate in CSTE calls to address questions and comments

(Need to work with Subject Matter Experts in States before MMG development [based on forms with OMB clearance]; Consider data release issues [Disclosure risk assessment]; Use of Associated Lab data and knowledge of LOINC/SNOMED).

NEDSS OMB Package – Includes data elements from NETSS, PHIN, and MMWR.

Data Mart/View Support by Messaging Team

• Provide data mart/view requirements (8 to 40 hours)

• CDS meet with program 3-5 times (2hours/meeting)

• Participate in data mart/view training (8 to 16 hours)

• Access data via PC SAS or SQL

• Provide UAT (iterative process)

• Perfect or good?

• Use the data and continue to report data issues (Allow them to submit Change Requests for a limited time after going to production.

• Actively collaborate in decision making process (Request technical person; Error checking; content validation).

CDC- CDS Team

• HL7 v2.5 Implementation Process with states

• Need to be involved with states with mapping of data in state system.

• Participate in biweekly calls with states implementing HL7 messaging (address state questions and concerns about how to send certain data elements)

• Provide test case scenarios.

• Attend 2hrs of HL7 training (This is needed to validate content in the raw HL7 messages).

• Access staging data mart/view (This is needed to validate and approve content for production).

• Provide a timeline of when states plan to make the transition.

Additional Points

• Defining what type of resource support will be needed by the program (and NEDSS) to be successful.

• Establishing time and resource commitments from external stakeholders.
