• Closing the Referral Loop document code value set discrepancy - Gay Dolin
  • The CDA examples task force is working on examples for representing “Closing the referral loop” with C-CDA documents and we are concerned about a challenge with this measure.
  • In CMS50v7 Closing the Referral Loop: Receipt of Specialist Report, the measure asks for (would query for) document codes to represent the numerator using SNOMED CT codes. However, all CDAs require LOINC for document codes. Minimally this:
    • Represents a mapping challenge for implementers
    • Requires dissemination into the implementer community education that they will need to use translation code to represent the SNOMED CT codes in a C-CDA (particularly for systems that query a database of C-CDAs for measure information)
