The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) released the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability version 2 (USCDI v2), a standardized set of health data classes and constituent data elements for nationwide, interoperable health information exchange. The health IT community now will have clearer direction toward the standardized, electronic exchange of social determinants of health (SDOH), sexual orientation, and gender identity (SO/GI) among several other updated data elements.
