Purpose of Capture
Description
Purpose of Capture describes why a dataset or data elements were originated (collected, captured, sourced), updated, verified, attested, transformed... Often needed to ensure Purpose of Capture is equivalent or compatible with each potential Purpose of Use. Provenance set includes the who, what, when, where and why as metadata for USCDI data classes and data elements. Purpose of Capture is part of “why”. Purpose of Capture should be associated with each USCDI dataset or data element that has a unique provenance set. Occurs when data is originated (captured, collected or sourced), updated, verified, attested, transformed (e.g., to/from exchange artifact such as HL7 v2 message, document or FHIR resource instance). Note that Purpose of Capture may be intrinsic to what the source EHR/HIT system already knows, thus it will not require extra data collection (burden) by the clinician or other end user.

| Data Element Information |
| Rationale for Separate Consideration |
Purpose of Capture anchors data classes and data elements to the reason they were originated (collected, captured, sourced). This is a must for transparency, assurance (trust) and data integrity and ensures that Purpose of Capture is equivalent or compat |
| Use Case Description(s) |
| Use Case Description |
All use cases (including health data/record exchange) where essential assurance of transparency, accountability, trust, traceability and data integrity is required. |
| Estimate the breadth of applicability of the use case(s) for this data element
|
Any/all stakeholders for any/all use cases. |
| Healthcare Aims |
- Improving patient experience of care (quality and/or satisfaction)
- Improving the health of populations
- Reducing the cost of care
- Improving provider experience of care

5 or more. This data element has been tested at scale between multiple different production environments to support the majority of anticipated stakeholders. |
| Potential Challenges |
| Restrictions on Standardization (e.g. proprietary code) |
None |
| Restrictions on Use (e.g. licensing, user fees) |
None |
| Privacy and Security Concerns |
None. In fact enables health data/record audit events and audit logs (audit trails).
• Who did what when where and why (actions taken)
• Who documented what when where and why (health record entries) |
| Estimate of Overall Burden |
As stated previously, most all of the submitted Provenance elements are intrinsic to what the source EHR/HIT system already knows, thus will not require extra data collection (burden) by the clinician or other end user. |
| Other Implementation Challenges |
The usual resistance from certain stakeholders – those who believe Provenance is unnecessary – after all, who would believe that transparency, accountability, assurance, traceability and data integrity are essential/integral to trusted health data/record management and use? |

CMS-CCSQ Support for Purpose of Capture: adv. Lev. 0 to Lev. 1
CMS-CCSQ supports the PACIO Project’s recommendation of the advancement of the Purpose of Capture data element from Level 0 to Level 1. This data element represents necessary metadata around documents to validate and accurately understand the information that is gathered from numerous sources.
