ONC releases draft United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Version 2 and Standards Version Advancement Process (SVAP) approved standards for 2020
The Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (IT) (ONC) has released the Draft United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Version 2. The Draft USCDI v2 is the result of wide-ranging public input into the elements that should be included to enhance the interoperability of health data for patients, providers, and other users. ONC encourages the public to review this draft standard, including the list of data elements that didn’t make it into the standard, and provide comments through the USCDI home page by April 15, 2021.
ONC also released the Standards Version Advancement Process (SVAP) Approved Standards for 2020. Under the SVAP, health IT developers can incorporate newer versions of health IT standards and implementation specifications used in certified health IT and update systems for their customers without undergoing certification testing again.
