Table 5Sources of existing common data elements and value sets

Name	Description and URL	Relevance
eCQI Resource Center	Centralized location for news, information, tools, and standards related to electronic clinical quality improvement (eCQI) and electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs), coordinated by the CMS and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). https://ecqi.healthit.gov/	Overlapping criteria for defining patient populations
Value Set Authority Center (VSAC)	Repository for public value sets created by external programs. Value sets are lists of codes and corresponding terms that define clinical concepts to support effective and interoperable health information exchange. https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/	Overlapping value sets
Consolidated-Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA)	The C-CDA implementation guide contains a library of CDA templates, incorporating and harmonizing previous efforts from Health Level Seven (HL7), Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE), and Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP). It represents harmonization of the HL7 Health Story guides, HITSP C32, related components of IHE Patient Care Coordination (IHE PCC), and Continuity of Care (CCD). http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=408	Overlapping data representations
NIH Common Data Elements Repository	Repository of structured human and machine-readable definitions of data elements that have been recommended or required by NIH Institutes and Centers and other organizations for use in research and for other purposes. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/cde/	Overlapping data element definitions
