Vocabulary Distribution Collaboration- Data Elements (questions)

NCI caBIG CDE browser (Denise Warzel – NCI / Sundak)– Pilot project with National Cancer Institute to distribute CSTE

common core data elements and hepatitis using NCI CDE browser / NCI forms repository (PHI Conference 2011 Session recording link)

– NCI CDE has curated content with detailed definition for many of the common data elements related to patient. These data elements and permissible values were developed based upon consensus and existing CHI standards.

– Mapping to Clinical LOINC metadata can be hosted in NCI CDE browser.

– Public health data elements in NCI CDE browser could be linked to CDC PHIN VADS value sets for answer list (permissible values) via browser or HL7 CTS web services.

– NCI caBIG CDE browser link - https://cdebrowser.nci.nih.gov/CDEBrowser/

04/18/23 DRAFT 4

Vocabulary Distribution Collaboration- Data Elements (questions)

RELMA– Panel to organize public health data elements with sub-categories

(Demographics, Epidemiology, etc..) similar to NAACCR Vol 2 panel

– RELMA would facilitate and distribution of public health data elements to EHR community as well as mapping.

– Link from RELMA data elements to value sets present in PHIN VADS

04/18/23 DRAFT 5

Vocabulary Distribution Collaboration- Value Sets

CDC NLM Collaboration – Meaningful Use value sets

Quality Measure value sets – Integrate CDC PHIN VADS value sets with National Quality Forum

Measure Authoring Tool (MAT)

HIMSS IHE Connectathon – Supporting IHE Sharing Value Set (SVS) specification

PHIN VADS Value Set Authoring Tool (UAF)– ONC S&I

– Federal Health Architecture Information Modeling & Terminology workgroup

standards and interoperability

Federal Health Architecture Information Modeling and Terminology– Steve Wagner / Rob McClure

Current Artifacts / Projects:– CSTE position statements

– Standardizing data elements in CSTE position statements (CRSWg)

Case Reporting Standardization Workgroup (CRSWg)

– Data Element Standardization project

Goal: standardize the questions/data elements in CSTE position statements (i.e. to represent the data elements consistently across all CSTE position statements).– Overview of CRSWg Public Health Data Element Standardization

Case Notification – Data Elements

Map the current PHIN Variable ID (UID) to Clinical LOINC.

– Generic Version 2 Message Mapping Guide illustrates the common core data elements for case notification and condition specific data elements.

• Latest version of Generic V2 Message Mapping Guide (phConnect link)• Event Codes and Case Notification Reporting Mechanism (phConnect link)

Next Steps / Discussion

Seeking guidance from Clinical LOINC committee regarding public health data element standardization

1) Get Clinical LOINC Codes for Generic V2 Message Mapping Guide data elements (i.e. observations that come in OBX-3).

2) Reuse the case notification data elements in case reporting as much as possible

3) Identify the case reporting data elements that are not included in case notification and standardize them using Clinical LOINC / map to HL7 segments / CDA .

4) Collaborate with ONC S&I PH Case reporting data element harmonization workgroup and ONC FHIM Terminology subgroup.

5) Propose PH panel structure including categories in Clinical LOINC.

6) Provide link between Clinical LOINC PH data elements and PHIN VADS value sets in RELMA.

7) Follow-up with CSTE regarding the standardization of CSTE data elements in position statements.
