Level 0 Medical Devices

An instrument, machine, appliance, implant, software or other article intended to be used for a medical purpose.

Unique Mobile Health Application Identifier (UMHAI)

This is a unique identifier that uniquely identifies mobile health application instance as installed on a mobile device. Related data elements would include Application name, App Builder, version, build number, hosting device, unique identifiers [similar to a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) used to track and identify individual vehicle]. Unique Mobile Health Application Identifier enables identification of application instance to facilitate recall, maintenance, transparency and traceability.

Level 0 Clinical Notes

Narrative patient data relevant to the context identified by note types.

  •  
  • Usage note: Clinical Notes data elements are content exchange standard agnostic. They should not be interpreted or associated with the structured document templates that may share the same name. 
Referral note

Documentation sent to a consultant, for example, by a primary care provider, summarizing the patient’s clinical history and reason for consult.

LOINC. We recommend adding the new data elements with a LOINC term representing the most generic term for that particular data element, along with information about how to access the value set of more specific LOINC terms available for each note type. The Regenstrief LOINC team can provide FHIR ValueSets with associated OIDs and/or webpages with downloadable content for each note type. Both of these resources would include the same set of LOINC terms. These resources do not exist yet but can easily be created if approved as additions to the USCDI. The benefit of hosting these resources on the LOINC website or providing them via LOINC FHIR terminology services compared to VSAC or other value set repositories is that the resources will be updated automatically with every LOINC release and would not require a separate process.

LOINC—although we would like to see the set of codes constrained as suggested above. In Data Element Description above, we have the suggested LOINC code (showing also the Long Common Name) for each Note in our list. Such constraints are needed in order to allow for semantic interoperability.
