NETSS Export

Users with the CDC Export permission can export cases to the CDC. NETSS (National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance) is the CDC's computerized public health surveillance information system. NETSS is generally used by reporting jurisdictions that are transitioning to NEDSS, which is more robust. The NETSS Export feature allows users to export case notifications for use with the NETSS system.

To perform a NETSS export, click the ELR - CDC Reporting > NETSS Export menu link. The NETSS Export - Case Notifications Export page opens. To export the information, enter the report parameters and click Export. To perform a year-to-date reset, which resets all of the data for the year, click Year to Date Reset. To view the export history, click View Export History.

The available fields and options on the NETSS Export - Case Notification Export page are as follows:

Field/Option	Description
MMWR Ending Week (ww-yyyy) *	Enter the ending week in the format of ww-yyyy (example: 42-2016). The previous week number and current year are the default. This field is required.
Closeout date (for YTD reset only)	If performing a year-to-date reset, enter the closeout date.
Report Options	To include the NETSS extract in the report, select this option.

After clicking Export, the New NETSS Export section is displayed with the export summary.
