Hello
I am very sorry for any CCDD download problems experienced by with the March release .
Although we had communicated the paragraph below (note red sentence in font) in the technical specification, we received a couple of comments about problems with 2 files not having the same attribute/column order as the technical specification in the March publication. About the Technical Specification
This technical specification identifies the data files for distributing the information contained in the Canadian Clinical Drug Data Set. A table for each CCDD file provides the format and description of the attributes within each of the files. The files are provided in CSV format with double quotes used as text qualifiers. All strings are coded in UTF-8 and the line terminators used for all files will be Unix (LF). The order of columns in the files may not match the table order as below.
This has been addressed and we will ensure this does not occur in future releases. We have added quality checks to avoid this in the future. Thankyou for your patience.
Improving the quality of patient care through the effective sharing of clinical information among health care organizations, clinicians and their patients.
