NIEM Health Elements Inventory
The NIEM Health Elements Inventory is a tentative inventory of healthcare elements and types defined across the NIEM domains. The goal of this exercise is to determine what healthcare-related elements have already been defined across the NIEM Domains, compare those elements for completeness and standards compliance with ONC USCDI and health industry standards, and identify gaps that may need to be filled by NIEM Health definitions.
