Level 2 Data Element: Incontinence
IMO supports the inclusion of Incontinence as a Level 2 data element in the Assessment and Plan of Treatment Data Class in USCDI V3. IMO agrees with the submitter that assessment of incontinence is important to the quality of patient care, structured documentation is well supported by established CMS assessment instruments with associated HIT standards and can be easily implemented in ONC Certified HIT.
