SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested persons are invited to send

The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for
the proper performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of

Title of the Collection: United States Core Data for
Interoperability New Data Element.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0955-0020--Office of the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology--Specific program collecting the data (is
applicable).
Abstract: The Office of the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology is seeking the revision on a previously approved
by OMB #0955-0020 information collection request item ``United States
Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) New Data Element Submission
Form.'' The USCDI is a standardized set of health data classes and
constituent data elements used to support nationwide, interoperable
health information exchange. The USCDI Version 1 is 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
ensure 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 and
classes. ONC will evaluate each submission and provide feedback to the
submitter. ONC will draft a new version of the USCDI based on these
submissions and this draft will undergo review by ONC's federal
advisory committee, the Health Information Technology Advisory
Committee (HITAC), as well as by the general public. Upon approval by
the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, 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. ONC
is seeking approval to continue to collect this information from health
IT stakeholders.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information collected
from this submission system is needed as it will comprise the sum total
of the items ONC will evaluate for addition to the next version of the
USCDI. The requested data will provide supporting documentation to
justify addition of the data elements to the USCDI, and, if the
documentation does justify addition to the USCDI, to one of several
levels of candidate data elements for future development and
consideration. The requested data and ONC's evaluation of the data will
be publicly available for review at any time to provide transparency
and predictability in the USCDI expansion process. It will contain
information about the submitter to allow ONC to provide direct feedback
to submitters on ONC's evaluation of such submission.
Likely Respondents: Likely respondents to this new submission
system will be various health IT stakeholders including health care
providers, standards development organizations, health IT developers
and vendors as well as members of the HITAC.
The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized
in the table below.
