CMS-CCSQ Support for Renaming “Goals” Data Class for USCDI v4
Information about patient-document goals and preferences is important for clinical decision support and care coordination. While CMS supports the addition of Treatment Intervention Preference and Care Experience Preference data elements to the Goals data class, we recognize that “Goals” and “Preferences” are related but conceptually different. Hence, we recommend reframing the Goals data class to "Goals and Preferences" to capture related data elements in one data class. This would allow for data elements such as Advance Directives and Portable Medical Orders to fit appropriately into this data class in future.
