Barriers to Enablement: 

Barriers to Enablement Excel file output from Form Builder Security settings in IE Differences between data in caDSR and ePHocus Fewer fields in ePHocus

Skip Patterns: 

Skip Patterns Skip data stored at the Form level Skip data not available through Excel download from Form Builder (for NHIS 2005) Two possibilities for Skip Patterns 'Skip from' logic IF answer to #1 is yes, THEN skip to #8 'Look-back' logic for a question Display #8 IF #1=YES and #5 = No More flexible and more complex

Data Checking: 

Data Checking Data Type Checks (numeric yes/no) DATATYPE information does exist for Permissible Values Is it recorded consistently? Range Checks (1-7, 99) HIGH VALUE, LOW VALUE for Permissible Values, but what about 99? Formatting (99/99/9999) Formatting information exists under Value Domain Details (Display Format, Max Length, Min Length, Decimal Place), but how should it be implemented?

Source and Traceability: 

Source and Traceability Many possible levels of source information Organization Reference Documents Origin Organization and Questionnaire (and year) Reference Documents Origin Curator, Context Context History of use Form Usage

Recommendations: 

Recommendations Additional Metadata Validation Information Reading Level of Preferred Question Text Question Grouping For questions with identical valid values For multiple option questions (choose all that apply) HIPAA information (is this value PHI?) Other considerations Where will the data be stored?

Next Steps: 

Next Steps Finalize the White Paper Demonstrate the enablement tool Assist the POP SCI SIG in moving forward with suggestions and recommendations made in the White Paper
