====== CMS/Medicare ETL Workgroup ======

<WRAP box justify round>

**Objective:** The objective of this workgroup (WG) is to establish an ETL Specification Document and an ETL implementation for each of the following data sets:
  * [[http://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Downloadable-Public-Use-Files/SynPUFs/DE_Syn_PUF.html|Medicare SynPUF Data]]
  * [[http://appliedresearch.cancer.gov/seermedicare/|SEER Medicare]]
  * [[http://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Files-for-Order/LimitedDataSets/StandardAnalyticalFiles.html|Medicare Limited Data Set]]


Additionally, we intend to provide a downloadable copy of the Medicare SynPUF files in OMOP CDMv5 format.
