Standard Code Book Tables
Below are some commonly asked questions concerning the Standard Code Book:
How do we ask for new codes to be added?
To add a new value to an existing code set:
Send any request to add or change entries in an existing code set to your Area Statistical Officer along with the date the change is to become effective. If you do not know your Area Statistical Officer, you can get his or her name from the IHS Division of Program Statistics/Office of Public Health Support (DPS/OPHS). Once the change is approved, RPMS will be assigned a task to add the code to the appropriate table. The additions and changes made one day will be reflected on the web the next day.
To propose a whole new code set for a new field to be included in the NDW:
Send your request via e-mail to support@ihs.gov for consideration by the IHS Standard Code Book Workgroup.
How do we update our facility/community data?
Site going tribal or otherwise changing their ASUFAC code. What do we need to consider?
