Level 0 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. 
Plan of care note

Documentation about expected but pending or ongoing orders, interventions, encounters, services, and procedures for a patient.

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.

Outpatient Note

Documentation of a clinical encounter that takes place in an outpatient setting. Reason to consider separately (including this here because the "Reason" field for additional elements is truncating my text): This data element has some overlap with other existing and proposed Clinical Notes data elements Outpatient is a setting versus a type of service (Consultation, History & Physical, Discharge Summary, Transfer Summary, etc.). For example, Outpatient consultation notes span the “Consultation Note” and “Outpatient Note” data elements. However, we feel it is important to specify this particular setting because the vast majority of LOINC terms representing outpatient clinical notes aren’t captured in the data elements that represent particular types of service.
