What is CDC doing to minimize data entry burden and avoid duplicate entry into STD*MIS and PEMS?
A. CDC’s Divisions of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) and STD Prevention (DSTDP) are working together to ensure that the required variables for HIV Partner Services are identical in DHAP’s National HIV Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E) data entry and reporting system (PEMS) and DSTDP’s STD surveillance and case management software (STD*MIS ). Grantees will be able to enter HIV Partner Services data into the system that best meets their needs. If grantees use STD*MIS, a data extract file will be created to extract the HIV partner services data from STD*MIS. Those data may then be submitted to state HIV prevention programs, and subsequently to CDC, via the secure data network (SDN). If grantees use PEMS, data will be submitted through that system to CDC. Data need only be entered into one system at the local level and will be integrated into the national database at CDC.
