This addendum consolidates the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) PHIN Messaging Guide for Syndromic Surveillance: Emergency Department and Urgent Care Data, Release 1.1 (PHIN MG) information and clarifies existing conformance requirements. Conformance statements and conditional predicates that clarify message requirements are presented below. Value set requirements, general clarifications, and PHIN MG errata are also provided in this addendum.
This document represents the collaborative effort of the International Society for Disease Surveillance (ISDS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to specify a national electronic messaging standard that enables disparate healthcare applications to submit or transmit administrative and clinical data for public health surveillance and response. Recommendations made by expert committees convened by ISDS and CDC serve as the basis for this guide.
This PHIN Messaging Guide for Syndromic Surveillance contains the necessary specifications for data exchange from healthcare to public health for elements that are core to Syndromic Surveillance practice.
