PACIO Comment on Personal Advance Care Plan
Data Class: Advance Directives (Currently Level 2)
Data Element: Personal Advance Care Plan (Currently Level 1)
Recommendation: Include the Personal Advance Care Plan data element in the USCDI V5.
Rationale: The PACIO (Post-Acute Care Interoperability) Project, established February 2019, is a collaborative effort between industry, government, and other stakeholders, with the goal of establishing a framework for the development of FHIR implementation guides to facilitate health information exchange. The PACIO Community believes the Personal Advance Care Plan data element is critical to enable the exchange of information that focuses on a narrative description and supporting documentation, in particular PDFs or scanned images. We support its inclusion as a data element under the Advance Directives Data Class and support their advancement to USCDI V5. Personal Advance Care Plans have been exchanged using a published FHIR implementation guide under the title Advance Directive Interoperability.
