Medical Record Number

The unique identifier assigned by the provider to reference a single patient

Structural standards exist for the capture and exchange of MRNs and are part of all EHRs and standard transaction. However, there is no global assignment of an identifier to an individual patient.

Mark Roberts Leavitt Partners
Level 0 Problems

Condition, diagnosis, or reason for seeking medical attention.

Disease Trend

Disease trend, also referred to as disease status, represents the clinician's overall judgment on the current trend of a condition, e.g., whether it is stable, worsening (progressing), or improving (responding). The judgment may be based a single type or multiple kinds of evidence, such as imaging data, physical examination, tumor measurements, laboratory data, etc. The condition trend can be reported multiple times during the course of a condition, each report representing the clinical judgement at that point in time. The element is important in assessing disease progression and determining the efficacy of treatments.

Andre Quina MITRE
Level 0 Patient Summary and Plan

Information that guides treatment of the patient and recommendations for future treatment.

Treatment Change

Treatment Change documents the reason for changes to the plan of treatment plan. The options for this data element are, for example: no change (continue treatment), planned change, no response to treatment, adverse reaction, patient request for alternative treatment. The first option (no change in treatment plan) can document a review of the treatment plan that did not require in a change of treatment.

Level 0 Immunizations

Record of vaccine administration.

Texas IIS Consent Status

This element will document the patient’s consent for participating in the Texas statewide immunization information system (IIS). Under state statute, the Texas immunization registry is opt-in.. The following are the different values Texas currently uses to desctibe a patient’s consent status: TXA - Consented Adult, >=18 years old TXY - Consented ImmTrac Child, <18 years of age TXR - First Responder, >=18 years old TXF - Adult Family Member of a First Responder, >=18 years old TXM - Minor Family Member of a First Responder, <18 years old - no consent is on file. After the first initial consent is sent to the registry, the EHR vendor would need to be able to leave the field blank when the patient's information is sent again to the registry.

Texas Immunization Registry - ImmTrac
Level 0 Immunizations

Record of vaccine administration.

Texas IIS Consent Date

This variable contains the date consent was obtained or changed. When a provider queries ImmTrac for a patient and a patient who has already consented is found, the query will return the Texas IIS Consent Date stored in the registry. The provider, at the patient’s (or parent/guardian’s direction, as appropriate) can change the consent status. If there is a change, the updated Texas IIS Consent Date should be submitted to the IIS. Texas IIS Consent Date should be stored in date format: YYYYMMDD.

Texas Immunization Registry - ImmTrac
Level 0 Organization Organizational Identifier Components

Unique, disambiguating identifier components for Organization-related elements. e.g. Provenance, identifier.assigner, and other elements and components that rely upon Organizations, especially those that may not be provider organizations nor have a URL. USCDI may need to support (or even consider requiring) organization.identifier.system to improve data portability. The parent way of identifying the system that enumerates multiple Organization identifiers may best be modeled as Organization.identifier.system, where the identifier uses existing FHIR properties for Identifiers data type. These include: identifier.system (URI namepsace) identifier.assigner (itself an organization!) identifier.value (a unique value)

For organizations like payers and ACOs, while health plan ID is no longer being pursued by industry, existing, in-production Payer IDs exist in multiple EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) environments. There are a set of Payer IDs in use today already; in concert with a clear description of the system that enumerates the Payer ID, these can be an example of the standards that may be used in uniquely identifying organizations beyond a free-text string description/label. These IDs may, however, be proprietary, but also already permissioned for use by the trading partners of the entities using the IDs for treatment, payment, and health care operations.
