    Description

    The goals of this Mini-Sentinel activity are to: 1) identify states for potential matching of health plan to birth certificate and fetal death certificate data; 2) gather information about the feasibility and process of conducting matches with birth and fetal death certificate data in selected states; 3) develop a standard file structure for birth and fetal death certificate data within the Mini-Sentinel Common Data Model (MSCDM); and 4) support one or more PRISM Data Partners to conduct birth and fetal death certificate data matching with up to 10 states and create a MSCDM file with these data which will reside at the Data Partners.
