{{Discuss | who=Julie |question=
* Do we want the exporting of PHI for MB Health to be a separate thing or a step in here? I don't want to generate it as a table in here and risk it being passed along to MCHP unencrypted. But if I generate it as an export to e.g. .csv I would need to know what format we need. Also, do we have the process for getting that encoded written on here somewhere else already? If not we should add it. Is the process only used for MCHP? If more general it should probably go on its own page and be linked.

This article contains the instructions to generate data for Manitoba Centre for Health Policy export using MCHP Export.accdb

Instructions

Schedule and Frequency

  • Yearly export to be done anytime in April of each year - as prescribed by Dave Towns (Senior Data management Analyst, Repository MCHP) on Aug 4, 2023.
    • It was decided in Task meeting 22May2024 to put on hold any data sharing with MCHP until Shared Health decides on the possible option for hosting the database (e.g. platform of the CCMDB) which at the moment has no action yet.
    • Aug 12, 2024 - resume sending data to MCHP as one previous investigator is getting updated data for his study to MCHP. One thing to note with MCHP is the DSM data not being reliable and complete.

Preparations

  1. Pull down the data to the usual location (desktop/CentralizedFrontEndLive)
  2. copy MCHP Export.accdb to the same location
  3. copy DSM Labs Consistency check.accdb to the same location

generating the export file

  • open MCHP Export.accdb
  • change extract dates if needed; actually, we don't generally change the dates, we always send 2019-01-01 to current
    • edit the VBA code to set the date range
      • in the program, click the "Database Tools" button bar tab a the top, then the "Visual Basic" button

    • if error message comes up due to large size issue, close the accdb. Get a copy again of the master MCHP Export, open, purge the data and run the MCHP Export button again.
  • delete the modules and forms, they contain Passwords

sending

  • review to make sure there are no big outstanding questions that will make our data look bad; a page on the wiki that might help with this is Portal related pages with questions

  • after zipping the files in the next two steps, try opening them on a different computer before sending them out of office; we had a problem with the zipped file during the 2020-04-30 send.
  • the zipped MCHP Export.accdb and password protected
    • send via MCHP sFTP server . Julie has been given a temporary account by Rod McRae, IManager, Manitoba Centre for Health Policy. Every time needed, Julie has to request and email Rod McRae <Rod_McRae@cpe.umanitoba.ca> and Dave Towns.

    • email the password to Dave Towns (Dave_Towns@cpe.umanitoba.ca).
  • the zipped PHI.mdb and password protected
    • send password encrypted PHI.mdb via MHSAL’s secure file transfer system to Jason Berry, A/Director, of Information Management and Governance Unit, Information Management and Analytics, Resources and Performance, Manitoba Health, Healthy Living & Seniors (4041 -300 Carlton Street, Winnipeg MB R3B 3M9) and email the password to him (Jason.Berry@gov.mb.ca); Manitoba Health with de-identify the data and pass it on to MCHP.
