The CDC Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention and the Million Hearts® 2022 Hearts national initiative (co-led by and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) uses this data as it is available for monitoring and evaluation to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes in 5 years. Furthermore, the CDC plans to leverage this data further in the future for surveillance and epidemiology studies if advanced through policy and available from EHRs. The Multi-state EHR-based Network for Disease Surveillance (MENDS) pilot will use electronic health record (EHR) data collected in clinical settings leading to a real-time, chronic disease surveillance model to plan and evaluate short-term outcomes of policies and program interventions.This field is for general comments on this specific data class.

Care Team Member Class Comments
APTA thanks ONC for adding “care team member name,” “care team member role,” and “care team member identifier” as data elements.
We recommend that the “care team member identifier” be optional, as not all health care professionals have an NPI, and the data type should/would allow you to send multiple IDs (NPI, DEA number, local, etc.).
