Issues

• NCVHS is often not precise
• E.g., Medications Prescribed
• There are gaps
• Years of schooling does not appear in V2.3
  (but it does in the RIM)
• Type of Facility/Place of Encounter is not
  mapped to the RIM - needed clarification

• Define the requirements to be satisfied
• Address completeness issues for an implementible
  spec

Who does this?

  use of the Minimum Data Set?

  satisfy them?
