This is a user interface redesign of the CMS Data Element Library. It intends to address some of the issues with the current DEL site, including:
- The DEL homepage mentions pages for FAQ, Help, and a User Guide but does not link to them anywhere on the site
- It takes multiple clicks to get to any useful information on the site, including code set downloads and aggregated information reports
- The Download HIT Codes output omits the following fields:
- Section Name
- Question Text
- Skip Pattern Trigger
- Lookback Period (days)
- Status
- Status Date
- Item Use
- Collection Time Period/Item Subset(s)
- Parent Item ID
- Copyright Information
- The Download HIT Codes page omits the following items:
- The entire Hospice Item Set (HIS) (versions 1.00.0 and 2.00.0)
- IRF-PAI versions 1.10, 1.2, 1.3
- LCDS versions 1.01, 2.01
- MDS3.0 versions 1.00.2, 1.00.6, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.3
- OASIS versions C1-102015, C1-012015, C-082009
- There is no aggregate information about the assessment items (e.g., total data elements per assessment item, list of linked health IT standards used in each assessment item, etc.)
- There are no links from this page to the authoritative sites for each of the assessment items (e.g., link IRF-PAI to https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/InpatientRehabFacPPS/IRFPAI.html)
- There is no visualization of commonalities/discrepancies between the various data sets
- From the Search and Report pages, there is no link back to the DEL homepage
