CDC's comment on the Facility level data class
CDC entered comment on behalf of CSTE: CSTE is supportive of Facility Information being included in v3. This information is extremely helpful for public health reporting to know which facility the patient was treated in. Codes (facility identifier such as Facility NPI) are the best way to transmit the information given common names and sometimes poorly structured facility name and address data.Submitted by sg999 on 2021-09-28

Comment
Recommend adding Facility Contact Information as a data element. This would allow the patient, provider, and/or family member to have the best phone or email contact information for the care facility.
