mCODE Core Implementation Guide Testing Suite Documentation (2024)

Challenge Resource
brief description

This resource provides comprehensive documentation for testing implementations of the minimal Common Oncology Data Elements (mCODE) Core profiles using the MITRE-developed test suite. The document outlines essential guidance for implementers working with prioritized mCODE profiles, particularly in context of the USCDI+ Cancer initiative and the CMS Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM).

Key Components:

  • Detailed overview of the mCODE Test Suite, built on the open-source Inferno FHIR testing tool
  • Alignment with USCDI+ Cancer use cases including clinical trial recruitment, adverse event tracking, and cancer registry data collection
  • Comprehensive mapping between mCODE profiles and EOM data elements
  • Visual conceptual diagram showing prioritized "mCODE Core" profiles
  • Testing specifications for five core profiles: Cancer Patient, Primary Cancer Condition, Cancer Disease Status, TNM Staging, and Tumor Marker

Complementary Resources:

This documentation is particularly relevant for:

  • Healthcare software developers implementing mCODE standards
  • Organizations participating in the CMS Enhancing Oncology Model
  • Teams working on USCDI+ Cancer data exchange initiatives
  • FHIR implementers focusing on oncology data interoperability
