Draft United States Core Data for Interoperability Version 6 (Draft USCDI v6) is now available! Draft USCDI v6 seeks to advance health data in a way that will benefit users of health IT. The comment period for Draft USCDI v6 is open through April 14, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET.

As technology continues to transform healthcare, the Health Information Technology Advisory Committee (HITAC) is leading the charge to shape the future of health IT. From advancing interoperability standards to exploring the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI), HITAC’s work is laying the foundation for a smarter, more connected healthcare system.

The 11th annual Interoperability Standards Advisory (ISA) Reference Edition is now available. This year’s edition includes important alignment updates to the Administrative and Pharmacy sections, as well as smaller updates across other pages, including Public Health and Unique Device Identification, and Admit, Discharge, and Transfer Notifications. 

The plan establishes both the strategic framework and operational roadmap for responsibly leveraging emerging technologies to enhance HHS's core mission, while maintaining our commitment to safety, effectiveness, equity, and access.

CHAI made the model card open source in hopes of setting a standard across the whole health care industry, Anderson told Newsweek on Thursday. "A common agreement about what the minimum bar for transparency needs to be, as articulated in this AI nutrition label, is the first step in building more trust and a deeper understanding of how these models can be used more strictly," he said. CHAI is not the only organization with that belief. As part of its HTI-1 Final Rule, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) identified 31 source attributes for predictive decision support interventions (which may include generative AI) that could be used as a baseline to build model cards. "What the ONC didn't do, the U.S. government didn't do, is go into detail about each one of those 31 sections," Anderson said, "because candidly, as an industry, we haven't come to consensus about what data needs to go into those spaces."
