Texas Disaster Consent | The following value should be used to document patient consent during a disaster or pandemic in Texas: TXD – Disaster consent In Texas, there is legislation that requires health care providers to report antiviral, immunization or other medications (AIM) administered to patients in response to a disaster such as COVID-19. When the AIM information is reported the TX IIS (ImmTrac) flags the information as disaster-related. If the patient signs the disaster-related consent form, their personal and disaster related AIMs are stored for the patient’s lifetime. If the patient does not sign the disaster related consent form or the regular, applicable consent form but receives a disaster related AIM, then their personal information and disaster related AIMs are stored in Texas’ IIS for up to 5 years after the end of the disaster. It is crucial for Electronic Health Records to capture, store, and exchange information regarding whether the patient received an AIM that was administered in response a disaster/pandemic so that this information can be shared with others to ensure appropriate medications are delivered and patient health can be maximized.. |

| Level 0 | Immunizations | Record of vaccine administration. |
Texas IIS Consent Status | This element will document the patient’s consent for participating in the Texas statewide immunization information system (IIS). Under state statute, the Texas immunization registry is opt-in.. The following are the different values Texas currently uses to desctibe a patient’s consent status: TXA - Consented Adult, >=18 years old TXY - Consented ImmTrac Child, <18 years of age TXR - First Responder, >=18 years old TXF - Adult Family Member of a First Responder, >=18 years old TXM - Minor Family Member of a First Responder, <18 years old - no consent is on file. After the first initial consent is sent to the registry, the EHR vendor would need to be able to leave the field blank when the patient's information is sent again to the registry. |

| Level 0 | Immunizations | Record of vaccine administration. |
Texas IIS Consent Date | This variable contains the date consent was obtained or changed. When a provider queries ImmTrac for a patient and a patient who has already consented is found, the query will return the Texas IIS Consent Date stored in the registry. The provider, at the patient’s (or parent/guardian’s direction, as appropriate) can change the consent status. If there is a change, the updated Texas IIS Consent Date should be submitted to the IIS. Texas IIS Consent Date should be stored in date format: YYYYMMDD. |

| Level 0 | Organization | Organizational Identifier Components | Unique, disambiguating identifier components for Organization-related elements. e.g. Provenance, identifier.assigner, and other elements and components that rely upon Organizations, especially those that may not be provider organizations nor have a URL. USCDI may need to support (or even consider requiring) organization.identifier.system to improve data portability. The parent way of identifying the system that enumerates multiple Organization identifiers may best be modeled as Organization.identifier.system, where the identifier uses existing FHIR properties for Identifiers data type. These include: identifier.system (URI namepsace) identifier.assigner (itself an organization!) identifier.value (a unique value) |
For organizations like payers and ACOs, while health plan ID is no longer being pursued by industry, existing, in-production Payer IDs exist in multiple EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) environments. There are a set of Payer IDs in use today already; in concert with a clear description of the system that enumerates the Payer ID, these can be an example of the standards that may be used in uniquely identifying organizations beyond a free-text string description/label. These IDs may, however, be proprietary, but also already permissioned for use by the trading partners of the entities using the IDs for treatment, payment, and health care operations. |

Yes, structural standards exist for each of these six elements in current HL7 standards. Specifically, in FHIR, (1) Assessments are Observation resources; (2) Problems/Health Concerns are Condition resources; (3) Goals are Goal resources; (4) Interventions are ServiceRequest and Procedure resources; (5) Outcomes are represented by the status on any of the previously mentioned resources or creation of new Observation resources; and (6) Consent is represented by the Consent resource. Yes, a vocabulary/terminology standard and/or technical specification exists for each proposed data element. The technical specifications for value sets under each data element are described below: • Assessments: LOINC • Health Concerns/Problems/Diagnoses: SNOMED-CT, ICD-10-CM • Goals: LOINC • Procedures/Interventions: SNOMED-CT (clinical), CPT/HCPCS (billing) • Outcomes: LOINC (NCQA measures) • Consent (where needed): based on existing HL7 code systems For the respective SDOH domains: For (1) Food Insecurity: LOINC, SNOMED-CT, ICD-10-CM, and CPT/HCPCS terminologies are specified by value sets in NLM’s Value Set Authority Center (VSAC).

The details of the domains and specific consensus-approved value sets for each of the activities will be externally maintained as part of a hierarchy of LOINC panels and, where necessary, VSAC value sets referenced by the LOINC panels.

Author Credential(s) | Author Credential(s), in context of action taken and/or in context of USCDI dataset or data element authorship. Should allow credentials such as MD, DO, RN, DDS, PharmD... Provenance set includes the who, what, when, where and why as metadata for USCDI data classes and data elements. Author Credential(s) are part of “who”. Author Credential(s) must be associated with each USCDI dataset or data element that has a unique provenance set. Occurs when data is originated (captured, collected or sourced), updated, verified, attested, transformed. Note that Author Credential(s) are intrinsic to what the source EHR/HIT system already knows, thus it does not require extra data collection (burden) by the clinician or other end user. |
