	✅ Authoring by Virginia Warren • Aug 05, 2021 at 9:56 PM ✅ If eICRs are generated and transmitted immediately based on trigger codes, what is the point of the reporting time frame in RCKMS? — We can reflect a state's required reporting time frame within RCKMS (see screen shot below). However, I was wondering if this is even necessary practically speaking if the eICRs get automatically triggered and transmitted? It's not like indicating a 2 day reporting time frame will cause a delay ...	3

When the messages come through, the Encounter information comes through with the provider information but then says Responsible Party and that is the MD information. It seems like a weird label for a prov...	2

	Marya Barker • Jul 02, 2021 at 8:27 PM what types of ECRs do you get? — I am curious about what conditions are being reported via eCRs to other states. It is my understanding that only the COVID-19 condition is available through RCKMS for use by reporting providers. I would assume that any facility that is reporting other conditions is doing so based on the reporta...	2
	✅ Authoring by Marisa Hopper • Jun 28, 2021 at 4:15 PM ✅ Pertussis logic sets — We wanted to share a recent experience with the pertussis logic sets. We had authored the Pertussis logic sets in RCKMS with the default setting and that included the Provider/Facility CLIN set. This is a combination of symptoms which fit the clinical case definition for pertussis. Apnea (O)...	3
	Melanie Epstein-Corbin • May 12, 2021 at 9:36 PM Untitled — For jurisdictions who have authored "hospitalized" criteria for COVID-19, how have you authored it (S/N/O), and are you finding it helpful to identify or assess COVID cases? Thanks.	1
	✅ Authoring by Marya Barker • Mar 31, 2021 at 3:06 PM ✅ Are you authoring by committee? — Currently, I'm the only person authoring specs for SC, as my division has the most reportables. I'm curious how your organization is approaching this - does each division have one person doing all the specs? Are you separating by condition type, e.g. VPDs, arboviral, respiratory? Is the final ...	5

Marya: A great suggestion! You can see the details of any condition authored by any jurisdiction by running a report. The st...	1
