All, According to the PCORNet common data model these are the options for the death_source column in the Death table with National Death Index and Social Security being separate.
-L=Other, locally defined -N=National Death Index -D=Social Security -S=State Death files -T=Tumor data -NI=No information -UN=Unknown -OT=Other So for the Data Dictionary, it looks to me as it would fall under the "Death Registry" as you suggested Nathan. That is my opinion anyway, for what it is worth.

PCORNet ETL ADD Data Providence for SSDMF (Nathan Graham) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2016 18:08:49 +0000 From: Nathan Graham <[email protected]> To: "'[email protected]'" <[email protected]> Cc: "'Osinski, Kristen'" <[email protected]> Subject: PCORNet ETL ADD Data Providence for SSDMF Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" All, Kristen at MCW asked for guidance on what to select in the ETL Annotated Data Dictionary as the data providence for the social security death master file (specifically, the data providence question for the CDM DEATH table). I looked at the KUMC draft and it seems we at KU selected "National Death Index" (along with EHR of course) which seemed right at first glance. However, I searched the web and found that the CDC has something called "National Death Index (NDI)" (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/ndi/) which doesn't appear to be the same thing as the SSDMF. I'd be interested in feedback from the group as to what the right choice is. Perhaps simply "Death Registry"? The options are: - EHR - National Death Index - State Death Records - Death Registry - Other - Not populated at this time Regards, Nathan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
