- ONC Releases New Platform to Centralize Electronic Health Data
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) has released a new USCDI+ platform. The USCDI+ platform enables users to see in and across a standardized set of health datasets for comparison and analysis for a broader sharing of electronic health information to support patient care. The platform also includes the ability to filter and export data elements by information within the datasets, as well as advanced logic to help reduce duplicate data element submissions, and more. The USCDI standard, which the ONC adopted in the 21st Century Cures Act defines how health care data must be formatted to be exchanged electronically nationwide. The CAP’s positioning on the USCDI is that the ONC should align the USCDI with the test reporting requirements in CLIA, and that the ONC should seek to achieve its goal with USCDI without overburdening pathologists and laboratories. The ONC is also accepting data element submissions and comments for two USCDI+ Public Health use cases: Case Reporting and Laboratory Data Exchange. The comment period ends on March 4, 2024, with updated datasets to be released in late Spring.
