ONC has published United States Core Data for Interoperability Version 5 (USCDI v5) and an associated standards bulletin outlining updates to the national data standard. USCDI is a standardized set of data elements for national health information exchange. During the USCDI v5 submission cycle from July to September 2023, ONC received over 330 comments on data elements and more than 60 submissions suggesting new data elements. ONC made changes to some data elements new to Draft USCDI v5 and updated data elements from USCDI v4 in the development of USCDI v5. These changes aim to clarify the definitions, uses, and vocabulary standards of the USCDI data elements.
