Level 0	Provenance	The metadata, or extra information about data, regarding who created the data and when it was created.	Custodian	The custodian is the organization that is in charge of maintaining and is entrusted with the care of the document.

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.	Complications	The data element specifically documents complications that result from different modalities of therapy. There is currently no way of collecting this information and thus we miss the opportunity for quality improvement and true informed consent. High level complications should be recorded and ascribed to the modality (ies) of therapy.

Level 0	Vital Signs	Physiologic measurements of a patient that indicate the status of the body’s life sustaining functions.

Level 0	Health Status Assessments	Assessments of a health-related matter of interest, importance, or worry to a patient, patient’s authorized representative, or patient’s healthcare provider that could identify a need, problem, or condition.	Physical Activity – Minutes/Day	On those days that the patient engages in moderate to vigorous exercise, how many minutes, on average, do they exercise?	The following LOINC codes correspond to components of the proposed measures: 89555-7 – Physical Activity – Days/Week 68516-4 – Physical Activity – Minutes/Day 82291-6 – Physical Activity – Muscle-Strengthening For the overall minutes/week measure, there is a standard LOINC code 89574-8 – Exercise Vital Sign that groups the Days/Week and Minutes/Day component, however it does not actually support capturing the calculated Minutes/Week component, even though the submitter of the code (Kaiser Permanente) makes regular use of the calculated value. HL7 will work with Kaiser and Regenstrief to either allow the existing ‘panel’ code to capture the calculated days/week measure or add an additional component that supports the calculation, making it easier to query for patients outside guideline without requiring client-side calculation.

The following LOINC codes correspond to components of the proposed measures: 89555-7 – Physical Activity – Days/Week 68516-4 – Physical Activity – Minutes/Day 82291-6 – Physical Activity – Muscle-Strengthening For the overall minutes/week measure, there is a standard LOINC code 89574-8 – Exercise Vital Sign that groups the Days/Week and Minutes/Day component, however it does not actually support capturing the calculated Minutes/Week component, even though the submitter of the code (Kaiser Permanente) makes regular use of the calculated value.

Level 0	Patient Demographics/Information	Data used to categorize individuals for identification, records matching, and other purposes.	Rurality	Individual's self-identification as living in a rural area. Rurality is recognized in public health science as a significant indicator of adverse rates of morbidity and morality; this is sometimes called the 'rural health penalty'. Rurality is a complex phenomenon that researchers treat fluidly, with changing definition: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0743016721000437 This failure of research to confirm a settled defintion should not constrain from asking the individual's self-identification, anymore than the failure of research to confirm a settled definition of sex or gender should constrain from asking the individual's self-identification of sex or gender.		edward strickler	member and past chair, ethics, american public health association	09/29/2024 - 11:10
