Data Elements

DD Data Element MSIS-IDENTIFICATION-NUM • RACE
DD Data Element Number ELG212ELG213

Annotation Calculate the percentage of MSIS IDs with a RACE value of "001"
Specification STEP 1: Enrolled on the last day of DQ report month

Define the eligible population from segment ENROLLMENT-TIME-SPAN-ELG00021 by keeping active records that satisfy the following criteria:

1. ENROLLMENT-EFF-DATE <= last day of the DQ report month

2. ENROLLMENT-END-DATE >= last day of the DQ report month OR missing

3. MSIS-IDENTIFICATION-NUM is not missing



STEP 2: Race information on the last day of DQ report month

Using the MSIS IDs that meet the criteria from STEP 1, join to segment RACE-INFORMATION-ELG00016 by keeping active records that satisfy the following criteria:

1a. RACE-DECLARATION-EFF-DATE <= last day of the DQ report month

2a. RACE-DECLARATION-END-DATE >= last day of the DQ report month OR missing

OR

1b. RACE-DECLARATION-EFF-DATE is missing

2b. RACE-DECLARATION-END-DATE is missing



STEP 3: Race is White

Of the MSIS IDs that meet the criteria from STEP 2, further restrict them by the following criteria:

1. RACE equals "001" on any record segment



STEP 4: Percentage

Divide the count from STEP 3 by the count in STEP 1



*Note: This can include MSIS IDs from STEP 1 that did not join to a race information segment.
