United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI+) Seeks Feedback on Adverse Event Data Elements
If you’re conducting immunotherapy studies and reporting adverse events, the USCDI+ Cancer program staff need to hear from you!
NCI, the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have released the USCDI+ Cancer Immune-related Adverse Events (irAE) draft data set.
Capturing adverse events is a vital part of cancer clinical trials. If researchers don’t record these events in a timely and complete way, it can lead to outcomes that could be deadly.
The irAE draft data set should help standardize this reporting.

Help make sure USCDI+’s elements capture the information you need to address your research needs. In particular, do you think the data set:
- is complete and relevant for detecting and reporting immune-related adverse events?
- addresses key data standards, codes, and terms?
- presents challenges for collecting and sharing the data electronically?
This is your opportunity to give feedback on these key cancer
