| Use Case Description(s) | |
| Use Case Description | Incarceration is a risk factor for many chronic conditions such as HIV and Hepatitis C Legal problems are inextricably linked to health problems. Oftentimes, people are made ill or have their access to healthcare threatened because laws are not enforced or poorly written, and because benefits are wrongfully denied. (National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership) |
| Estimated number of stakeholders capturing, accessing using or exchanging | All federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) using PRAPARE gather data about incarceration. This encompasses, in 2019, 29 million patients at 1400+ FQHCs with more than 13000 health care delivery sites. The evaluation of social determinants of health, however, should be considered a required component of a patient-centered, value-based approach to care and therefore should be potentially relevant for any patient or care setting. |

Incarceration History as SDOH data element under USCDI or ISA
NACHC would like to resupport this data element for consideration / inclusion to USCDIv3. All federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) gather SDOH data, which includes a focus on this data element through the PRAPARE screening tool. This data is relevant to and encompasses in 2019 29 million patients at 1400+ FQHCs with more than 13000 health care delivery sites. If this data element is not considered for addition to USCDI, we would like to comment on it's addition to ISA as a coded data element under SDOH, with applicable standards and representation accross ICD-10-CM, SNOMED-CT and LOINC. Please see attached document supporting this.2022-09-30 NACHC USCDIv3 Letter of Support_9.pdf
