2. SAFER – HEALTHIER – PEOPLE CDC NEDSS Drug Reaction Notification 2 October 2002 - Page: 2 A Basic Premise for the Discussion There is a core concept that is something like “Notification”. That concept is sufficiently applicable to a wide range of public health activities, ranging from disease notification to drug reaction reporting, for the work done to support NEDSS to be relevant to FDA’s reporting needs.

6. SAFER – HEALTHIER – PEOPLE CDC NEDSS Drug Reaction Notification 2 October 2002 - Page: 6 Design Philosophy for CDC Messaging Projects  Develop HL7 Version 3 messages. Use the RIM and the Message Development Framework. Use HL7 vocabulary domains Create a consistent set of work products across the projects. Standardize by forwarding messages within HL7  Influence HL7 Suggest RIM changes and vocabulary items Plan to submit message formats for standardization  Work within the technical architecture developed by NEDSS  Develop HL7 Version 3 messages.

7. SAFER – HEALTHIER – PEOPLE CDC NEDSS Drug Reaction Notification 2 October 2002 - Page: 7 Using the MDF - CDC Style  Document messaging requirements  Map relevant data to the RIM. Use data mapping as a source for the R-MIM. (These two can be documented together with simple source data.)  HL7 tooling supports definition of HMDs, message types, and XML schemas.  Create mappings between message elements and source and target databases  Address vocabulary issues by looking at HL7 domains first, but not last.  Document messaging requirements  Map relevant data to the RIM.

Core component of the NEDSS Base System.  Vital Statistics Provide a specification for Birth and Death information. Also support “verification/certification”.  Antimicrobial Use Reporting Periodic (monthly) reporting of antibiotics use and organism susceptibility from providers to CDC.  Notification Messaging Communicate notifiable disease reports from states to CDC.

SAFER – HEALTHIER – PEOPLE CDC NEDSS Drug Reaction Notification 2 October 2002 - Page: 11 Notification Messaging Scenarios I.Condition Notification State or other reporting base system sends a notification to CDC. CDC will acknowledge receipt. A negative acknowledgement will be sent if the message that has been received cannot be processed. II.Change/Retraction of Prior Notification State or other reporting base system sends a notification update/change/retraction. This message will always provide a reference to the earlier notification that is being updated, changed, or retracted. CDC will acknowledge receipt. A negative acknowledgement will be sent if the message that has been received cannot be processed. I.Condition Notification State or other reporting base system sends a notification to CDC.

CDC will acknowledge receipt. A negative acknowledgement will be sent if the message that has been received cannot be processed. IV.Notification Response CDC will provide a response to the state or other reporting base system once the CDC base system has processed the message.
