Title of the Collection: United States Core Data for
Interoperability New Data Element Submission Form.
Type of Collection: Continuation with revision.
OMB No.: 0955-0020--Office of the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology--United States Core Data for Interoperability.
Abstract: The Office of the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology is seeking the extension of approval with
revision for the 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
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 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, with some revisions to the information requested.
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
[[Page 29673]]
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, and assignment 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.
