Community Services Data Set (CSDS) submissions must be made using the latest CSDS Intermediate Database (IDB).
The structure of the IDB must not be altered in any way, and will be validated upon receipt of the submission to the SDCS Cloud. All tables must be present, even if some are not appropriate to the submission (based on the activity that has taken place). All fields listed in each table must also be present and field types must be exactly as specified.
The data items required to populate the IDB should be extracted directly from the appropriate local information systems, such as a clinical system or Patient Administration System.
Read more on our Intermediate Database (IDB) guidance pages.
