Policy Letter to National Coordinator Don Rucker on U.S. Core Data for Interoperability version 2

UCSF’s Center for Digital Health Innovation provides comments on new data classes and elements for version 2 of the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability, the standardized set of health data essential for nationwide interoperability, electronic health information exchange, and usability without special effort. As a health care provider, we urge ONC to add numerous additional data elements now so that they, too, become available for better health care, for key national use cases such as COVID-19 and virtual care, and for the nationwide learning health system we need.
