The specification will include but are not limited to the following herds files: covid identification, patient hospitalizations, and patient comorbidities. The data set will include structured data, lab results, diagnosis, race and gender to support programming and public health surveillance.data submissions: data extracts in accordance with provided specification delivered via sftp. Data extracts will be assessed to determine thresholds of completeness. File exchange started october 01, 2021 and ended march 31, 2022.deliverable #3: submission of extracts for daily events as defined per the specification delivered m-f via sftp attestation for delivery of data extracts m-f for daily data delivery for project period.

The depiction of that is displayed below as image 1. After defining the logic required to leverage the all in consent, Healthix devised a plan to create two interfaces to operate with nyec to send and receive all in consent values. These were theoretical as nyec never defined the specification for connection. In general, submission of the all-in consent values to nyec were to be by a secure mutual auth tls connection using an https method post. Retrieval of all-in consent data was to be via a secure mutual auth tls connection using an https method get.
