To align with the latest ONC Health IT Certification (HTI-1) requirements, DrChrono has implemented updates to ensure compliance with United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Version 3. The update focuses specifically on enhancing how Immunization and Family History data are captured, structured, and exchanged within the platform.
Why This Update Matters
- Improves Data Integrity: Promotes consistent use of structured formats and standardized vocabularies (e.g., CVX codes for immunizations, SNOMED CT for family history).
- Enhances Interoperability: Facilitates accurate data exchange between healthcare organizations, public health registries, and third-party applications.
- Supports Clinical Decision-Making: Enables more complete and reliable patient histories, informing better clinical outcomes.
