CSTE Data Standardization Workgroup Reconvening in August 2021!

Greetings!

We hope everyone is doing well. After a long break in workgroup discussions due to COVID response priorities, we are looking forward to reconvening activities of the Data Standardization Workgroup, and would like to hear from you with preferences for next topics! 

Below are some possible next topics:

  1. Re-visit event date, or the date used for counting cases
  2. Outcome / death due to the disease or complication
  3. Gender identity and sexual orientation
  4. Race and ethnicity
  5. Pregnancy
  6. Hospitalization and admission/discharge
We are planning to reconvene in August 2021, on the last Friday of every month, at 1-2 ET. 

Please respond to this post with your comments. We look forward to hearing from you!

I think it would be good to re-visit event date, or the date used for counting cases for a bit of a refresher and finalize.
