Review Data Dictionary
The first step is to download the digital Data Dictionary (DD) Appendix csv files and file template and familiarize yourself with the variables you must collect.
Many of these variables are defined by ICD–10–CM codes which are defined in the Appendix. In order to facilitate the abstraction process, we also posted csv tables with all of the relevant ICD–10 codes listed in the Data Dictionary and the Appendix.
You can view the Data Dictionary here.
Map EHR to the DOH Digital Data Dictionary
The allowable values in the Data Dictionary may not exactly match the values in your EHR and will require mapping. Mapping will match your EHR data elements to elements in the Data Dictionary. Therefore, abstracting the data from the EHR will require partnering with your hospital Information System team. They should be able to assist you with mapping the data elements in the Data Dictionary to your EHR and then, once that is complete, provide you with the data extraction to upload to the Sepsis Portal. An example of such a variable is “payer”. How the data elements from the EHR get mapped will depend on your EHR, whether it is EPIC, Allscripts, Meditech, or something else.
Submit a Test File
Before you submit any data into the Sepsis Portal, we ask that you first submit a test file to the Test Portal. The purpose of the submitting a test file is to validate that the data file matches the file template and that variables match the formats advised in the notes for abstraction.
In order to get access to the test portal, please submit a helpdesk ticket with your name, email address, and the PFI # of your hospital referencing “test portal access” in the subject line. You can request access at: https://ny.sepsis.ipro.org.
If you identify any issues during the testing process, we ask that you submit a helpdesk ticket (https://ny.sepsis.ipro.org/support) with a detailed description of the issue so that we can improve and correct any issues.
The test portal web address is: https://lw-ny-sepsis-preview.ipro.org
