Level 2 Diagnostic Imaging

Tests that result in visual images requiring interpretation by a credentialed professional.

Imaging Reference The technical details of the retrieval access path to indicate network services that can be used to access DICOM studies, series, or instances content and metadata (e.g., a DICOMweb server endpoint providing QIDO-RS, WADO-RS, or WADO-URI).

LOINC/RSNA Radiology Playbook includes Diagnostic Imaging Procedure Codes and Descriptions. HL7 Standard for CDA® Release 2: Imaging Integration; Basic Imaging Reports in CDA and DICOM Release 1 references LOINC® Document Type Codes, SNOMED CT® Quantity Measurement Type Codes, as well as DICOM Code Systems.

Level 2 Clinical Notes

Narrative patient data relevant to the context identified by note types.

  •  
  • Usage note: Clinical Notes data elements are content exchange standard agnostic. They should not be interpreted or associated with the structured document templates that may share the same name. 
Referral note

Documentation sent to a consultant, for example, by a primary care provider, summarizing the patient’s clinical history and reason for consult.

LOINC. We recommend adding the new data elements with a LOINC term representing the most generic term for that particular data element, along with information about how to access the value set of more specific LOINC terms available for each note type. The Regenstrief LOINC team can provide FHIR ValueSets with associated OIDs and/or webpages with downloadable content for each note type. Both of these resources would include the same set of LOINC terms. These resources do not exist yet but can easily be created if approved as additions to the USCDI. The benefit of hosting these resources on the LOINC website or providing them via LOINC FHIR terminology services compared to VSAC or other value set repositories is that the resources will be updated automatically with every LOINC release and would not require a separate process.

Level 2 Healthcare Information Attributes

Contextual information that provides supporting details for healthcare data.

Report Date The date on which the reporting party (e.g., physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, etc.), completes collection of data for the report. Sarah Gaunt The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL)
Level 2 Organization Healthcare Services

Describe a specific healthcare service or category of services (such as counseling, imaging, or laboratory) offered by an organization at a designated location, which can be either physical or virtual. The service provider may include hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, or other specialized healthcare providers.

In addition to LOINC and SNOMED CT, other relevant code systems for the Healthcare Service data element include:

1. NDC (National Drug Code): For identifying medications and drug services.
2. ICD (International Classification of Diseases): For coding diagnoses that may relate to specific healthcare services.
3. CPT (Current Procedural Terminology): For coding medical procedures and services provided by healthcare professionals.
4. HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System): For coding healthcare services, supplies, and equipment.

These additional code systems further support the standardized representation of healthcare services.

Level 2 Medical Devices

Instrument, machine, appliance, implant, software, or similar device intended to be used for a medical purpose.

Medical Device Status Information beyond the UDI is required for patient care and clinical research. If a patient record is transferred to a new provider, the implant date of all active and inactive devices as well as the explant date of previously implantable devices is relevant. To conduct safety and effectiveness research, implant date, explant date and therapy status are relevant. Proposing implanted/inactivated/reactivated/explanted as the status values and that the status history is included as opposed to only current status.
