Overview of steps for new sites installing ESP for case reporting

  • A kick-off meeting will be planned
    • Appropriate IT staff and identified point person from the site should be present
    • The implementation kit materials will be provided in advance  
  • During kick-off meeting
    • Develop a timeline
    • Review all materials and processes
  • Site will provide an annotated copy of the File Spec on what they can/can’t report, important notes, etc.
    • Site will provide a list with detailed descriptions of encounter types
  • Discussion of specific data elements of interest with sites will occur at the kick off or subsequent meeting
    • e.g. IV drug use, homelessness (desired but not yet in model); NDCs for prescription medications - in the model but need site-specific details
