CMS Data Element Library
The Data Element Library (DEL) is a centralized resource for CMS' required assessment instrument data elements (e.g., questions and responses), and their associated mappings to nationally accepted health IT standards. There are no requirements to use the DEL contents. However, CMS assessment stakeholders may use the DEL resource to integrate CMS assessment content into their electronic health records and utilize mapped health IT standards to support interoperable health information exchange. The Data Element Library contains no patient health data.
PACIO Project
The primary goal of the PACIO Project is to establish a framework for the development of FHIR technical Implementation Guides and reference implementations that facilitate health data exchange between post-acute care and other providers, patients, and key stakeholders through standards-based use case-driven application programming interfaces. PACIO use cases include functional status, re-assessment timepoints, cognitive status, advance directive, and more.
