ONC has released the Draft United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Version 4, which proposes to add 20 data elements across a new data class and eight existing data classes. The new data class is “Facility Information,” which includes the data elements facility identifier, facility type, and facility name. If finalized, USCDI v4 would have 112 data elements organized in 19 data classes. The v4 submission cycle ended on September 30, 2022. ONC received approximately 150 submissions for new data elements and almost 350 comments on previously submitted data elements. ONC applied prioritization criteria discussed in Standards Bulletin 2022-2 to develop the final list of proposed new data elements for Draft USCDI v4.
