CDC's Consolidated Comment for USCDI v5
- We provide recommendation for a core set of priority SDOH coded terminologies be required in USCDI v5. This core set is needed in order for these elements to be included in standard build for improved data capture and interoperability. These should be separate from the current four SDOH elements (of assessment, goals, interventions and problems) which represent broad categories and allow optionality of hundreds of coded terminologies. The base set of required SDOH international standard data elements (coded terminologies) will advance priority SDOH initiatives of the White House, department and agency missions, for partners and the public, and within the clinical setting. They are aligned with policy, programs, and evaluation and clinical tools for improved data assets and evidenced based decision-making benefiting patients and populations.

CDC's comment on behalf of CSTE for USCDI v5
CSTE supports advancing structured collection of data on whether the patient resides in a congregate residential facility. Key values would include long-term care facility, assisted living facility, correctional facility, homeless shelter, group home, university dormitory, other congregate residential facility. Rapidly identifying cases of infectious disease that reside in such settings can greatly aid in rapid public health intervention in facilities serving vulnerable populations by state, tribal, territorial and local health departments to reduce transmission and prevent further morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases (e.g., for influenza, RSV, COVID-19, Neisseria meningitidis, foodborne pathogens, norovirus and others).
