To help advance and support Electronic Health Record (EHR) interoperability in long-term and post-acute settings, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has unveiled the Data Element Library (DEL). DEL is an initiative to structurize the assessment information to ensure interoperability and reuse, thus leading to better coordination. This whitepaper will help you understand how DEL promotes the smooth exchange of patient information from one provider setting to the next.

Conclusion
The law is first of its kind that has mandated the post- acute settings to incorporate certain
pieces of information like demographics, health evaluation and any medical problems into
the post-acute care, EHRs, including nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. This promotes
a smooth exchange of patient information from one provider setting to the next.
With DEL in place, it is possible for post acute care settings to reuse the data, share the stan-
dardized data and thus strengthen the interoperability and also keep everyone on the same
track and guarantee that the patients will receive proper healthcare services.
