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.

Level 2 Allergies and Intolerances

Harmful or undesired physiological responses associated with exposure to a substance.

Reaction Severity The clinical assessment of a specific allergic reaction when it occurs (e.g., mild, moderate, severe).

From SNOMED CT Implementation Guide for Allergy, Hypersensitivity and Intolerance: As a result of a request from HL7 to SNOMED International about the possibility of mapping some of the required HL7® FHIR® Value Sets to SNOMED CT, an analysis of the ability of SNOMED CT to accommodate those needs was performed by the SNOMED CT on FHIR Workgroup. The required value sets of the FHIR AllergyIntolerance resource were included in this analysis. AllergyIntolerance.Reaction.Severity It was assessed that there was a good match between the HL7 required value set and the SNOMED CT << 272141005 |Severities (qualifier value)| subhierarchy.

Level 1 Work Information Combat Zone Period

This data element is the self-reported date range(s) when a person worked in what is considered a combat zone. Both civilian workers, such as Department of Defense contractors, and military service members could have worked in combat zones.

An information model of the Patient Work data elements, called Occupational Data for Health (ODH), has been published ( https://doi.org/10.1093/jamia/ocaa070) and the data are represented in the Federal Health Information Model (FHIM; https://fhim.org/). An HL7 informative EHR-S Functional Profile has been published (http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=498). A Guide to Collection of Occupational Data for Health (ODH) is in preparation. Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC; https://loinc.org/) codes are available for each Patient Work Data Element, including Employment Status. The ODH code set (https://phinvads.cdc.gov/vads/ViewCodeSystem.action?id=2.16.840.1.114222.4.5.327) provides a value set for Employment Status as well as other Patient Work Data Elements (https://phinvads.cdc.gov/vads/SearchValueSets_search.action?searchOptions.searchText=ODH). The PHIN VADS ODH Hot Topics section provides downloadable files with Preferred Concept Names and Easy Read Descriptions for Employment Status values (https://phinvads.cdc.gov/vads/SearchVocab.action). Interoperability standard formats for all of the Patient Work Data Elements are published as aligned HL7 CDA, V2, and FHIR ODH templates as well as an IHE CDA profile ODH template.

Chapter 2C, Tables, Tables 0954-0959 provide the Patient Work Data Element component value sets. Chapter 3, Patient Administration, sections 3.4.15 and 3.4.18 describe the Patient Work Data Elements Employment Status and Combat Zone Period as Occupational Health (OH) segments; Retirement Date is included in the PD-1 segment.
