In order to assist jurisdictions in planning what variables to consider for collection during NAS surveillance, an Excel table of potential variables for collection has been created. This list builds on the list of variables sent to CDC by pilot jurisdictions and includes protected health information that would be necessary at the jurisdictional level as well as supplementary variables collected within some jurisdictions currently for internal analysis purposes. While individual variables requested by CDC may be updated in potential future data exchange opportunities, it may be of interest for a jurisdiction to consider the format currently used in this data dictionary for data collection and storage if it is desired to support the possibility of future interoperability and standardization across jurisdictions.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Workbook Description tab contains a description of each column within the tabs. Of note is the column \u201cApplication within Surveillance\u201d. Filtering this column to solely \u201cCase Classification\u201d will show the minimum variables needed to be able to identify if a case meets the confirmed or suspect definitions within the CSTE position statement. Filtering to additional values in \u201cApplication for Surveillance\u201d will allow jurisdictions to assess supplementary variables that may be useful dependent upon jurisdictional resources, interagency relationships, or desired epidemiological analysis.<\/span><\/p>\nContinue The Guide<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
