NNDSS Announces New Message Mapping Guide for Foodborne and Diarrheal Diseases HL7 Case Notifications
The CDC National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), in collaboration with the CDC National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, is pleased to announce that a finalized HL7 message mapping guide (MMG) is now available for foodborne and diarrheal diseases (FDD). Public health jurisdictions can prepare to send their FDD diseases notifications by using this MMG, which is posted on the NNDSS HL7 Case Notification Resource Center at https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/case-notification/message-mapping-guides.html.
