Note: If your organization is using an older version of CDEMS (pre-dating May, 2009) and wishes to upgrade to the
enhanced versions of CDEMS, as released by the West Virginia Office of Health Services Research (WVU OHSR), you will
need to convert your organization's CDEMS data file. This is an easy process. A link for the conversion tool and the
instructions are below. You can also contact Adam Baus or Mary Swim at WVU OHSR for technical support.
Prior to taking any steps towards updating your CDEMS data file, we urge that you make a copy of your data file and
work with this copy rather than the original data file. We also suggest archiving the original data file, on a secure
external drive, for safe keeping.
