File structure for the outgoing provider pre- and post-deadline extracts for the Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS).
Once a provider has submitted a successful file and it has been processed, a pre-deadline extract can be downloaded to show what data would be carried forward if this was the final submission.
Further processing is later required to produce the post-deadline extracts (this takes place after the submission deadline).
Following post-deadline processing (once the submission window has closed), the SDCS Cloud generates a post-deadline extract for providers, which contains the elements of their data taken into data storage plus additional derivations from the submitted data.
