| Estimate of Overall Burden | Burden is on the EHR and pharmacy system vendors to implement. |
| ONC Evaluation Details Each submitted Data Element has been evaluated based on the following 4 criteria. The overall Level classification is a composite of the maturity based on these individual criteria. This information can be used to identify areas that require additional work to raise the overall classification level and consideration for inclusion in future versions of USCDI |
|
|---|---|
| Maturity – Standards/Technical Specifications | Level 1/2 - Must be represented by a vocabulary standard or an element of a published technical specification |
| Maturity - Current Use | Level 2 - Used at scale in more than 2 different production environments |
| Maturity - Current Exchange | Level 2 - Demonstrates exchange between 4 or more organizations with different EHR/HIT systems |
| Breadth of Applicability - # Stakeholders Impacted | Level 2 - Used by a majority of patients, providers or events requiring its use |
