Title of the Collection: US Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)
New Data Element Submission Form.
Type of Collection: New.
OMB No. 0955-NEW-ONC.
Abstract: The Office of the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology is seeking the approval for a new information
collection request item the ``US Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)
New Data Element Submission Form.'' The U.S. Core Data for
Interoperability (USCDI) is a standardized set of health data classes
and constituent data elements used to support nationwide, interoperable
health information exchange. When published, the USCDI will become the
required standard data elements set to which all health IT developers
must conform to obtain ONC certification. This certification is
required for participation in some federal healthcare payment plans. In
order to insure the USCDI remains current and reflects the needs of the
health IT community, ONC has established a predictable, transparent,
and collaborative process to solicit broad stakeholder input to expand
the USCDI. Anyone, including ONC staff, staff from other federal
agencies, and other stakeholders may submit proposals for new data
elements. These contributions will be in the form of public comments
through our Health IT Advisory Committee (HITAC) as well as direct
public contributions by proposing new data classes and data elements
for addition to future versions of this health IT standard. The ONC
will evaluate each submission in collaboration with the HITAC and upon
approval by the National Coordinator for Health IT, new data classes
and data elements from these submissions will be added to the newest
version of the USCDI standard for integration into health information
technology products such as electronic health records. The ONC is
seeking approval to collect this information yearly from Health IT
Stakeholders.
