Define a "trip" for the purposes of analyses

Open jiffyclub opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Explain pull request

This addresses #748 by adding a definition of a "trip" to the general-information.md file. The definition is meant for the purposes of analysis in particular, and not for filtering which data points are exchanged as part of MDS endpoints.

I wasn't sure on the exact right spot for this since I hadn't seen anything like this done before in MDS, but I'm open to suggestions on that and the wording of the definition itself.

Is this a breaking change

  • No, not breaking

I don't consider this a breaking change since it doesn't effect the data interchange at all, only downstream analytics, but I might be missing something.

Impacted Spec

Which spec(s) will this pull request impact?

  • agency
  • policy
  • provider

In a way, all of these and none of these. 🤔

Follow-up from the MDS working group meeting on 2022-04-28, I'll make the language about what providers should report more definitive and reference all MDS endpoints. I'll also link from other places that discuss trips to this definition.

Made the update clarifying that providers should still send all info in all cases and made a link from provider trips to this definition.
