EHI Export Explanation for UrgentChart

This is the documentation for the ONC §170.315(b)(10) Electronic Health Information export feature in UrgentChart.

The Electronic Health Information Export files are all contained inside a zip folder where each zip contains a batch of 1 or more patients. A single patient export will contain only 1 patient in the batch.

Each zip file created is named as follows: EH.zip.

Each zip file will include a README.txt file that includes the links to this documentation and required disclosures.

For each patient record there will be folder named PT.

Each patient folder will include a subfolder named /Documents that holds the exported patient documents stored in the system. Document meta information will be found in the PatientDocuments_.csv table.

Each patient folder will include the following tables:

The data in each export table is designed to be human-readable and does not require additional references. The only two datatypes in these files are text and datetime.

Additional definitions of each of the data elements, their data types and any relevant comments on interpreting the data element can be found by reading the table definition spreadsheet: UrgentChartEHIExport.xls. Every batch zip file is self-contained and can be used to import that batch of patients into another EHR.
