Consuming the eICR

Hello Teams, 
I am working with DE / DPH and currently we receive eICRs but have not yet consumed them into our surveillance system.  We work with the eICR as HTML and then update manually.  Our teams are working towards automating this but we have some questions.  

I wanted to get some feedback from those of you that are receiving eICR Reports AND are systematically consuming them into your surveillance systems.  Do you consume all the eICR data or do you filter out what you want AND before consuming does your system perform validation checks against data to ensure you won't import data that will create a bad record/dup record for say - missing SSN value, or missing race or ethnicity if you require these.  Any perspective is appreciated.

Thank you, Charles Barilo, Information technology (IT) staff at Delaware Health and Social Services Charles , Marya Barker Marya , Amy Lai Amy Ramandeep Kaur Ramandeep , and other jurisdictions who are watching this good question thread. I'm grateful for your input and feedback. Although, technically, this topic falls outside of the specific RCKMS tool function, it's an important and interesting eICR question. The RCKMS team is reviewing your topic idea: I will followup with you-all shortly, here, with their input and responses.  Meanwhile, we invite other jurisdictions to share their experiences here to describe ways that you consume and process eICR's. Thank you all!
