What I have seen of that file, it is not a good example. I think you might find what you need in the ASTM standards or the HL7 standards.

Do you know where in VistA are the data for race and ethnicity stored? Do you think Vista makes a good work in collecting those data? For what we have seen in the group, even defining race and ethnicity is not easy, and capturing the necessary information to classify race and ethnicity for each patients is even more difficult. The proper collection of that data is mandatory in order to assess quality control, cultural competence, health disparities, etc. I would like to hear your thoughts. ==================================== Alberto Odor, M.D. Visiting Assistant Professor UC Davis Medical Center Clinical Research Investigator Services Program 2921 Stockton Blvd., Suite 1400 Sacramento, CA 95817 Tel: 916-703-9198 Fax: 916-703-9124 ==================================== -- Nancy Anthracite ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
