    Interagency Committee for Medical Records (ICMR); Automation of 
    Medical Standard Form 558
    
    AGENCY: General Services Administration.
    
    ACTION: Guideline on automating medical standard forms.

    Background
    
        The Interagency Committee on Medical Records (ICMR) are aware of 
    numerous activities using computer-generated medical forms, many of 
    which are not mirror images of the genuine paper Standard Form. With 
    GSA's approval the ICMR eliminated the requirement that every 
    electronic version of a medical Standard/Optional form be reviewed and 
    granted an exception. The committee proposes to set data standards and 
    require that activities developing computer-generated versions adhere 
    to the required data elements but not necessarily to the image. The 
    ICMR plans to review medical Standard/Optional forms which are commonly 
    used and/or commonly computer-generated. We will identify those data 
    elements which are required, those (if any) which are optional, and the 
    required format (if necessary). Activities may not add data elements 
    that would change the meaning of the form. This would require written 
    approval from the ICMR. Using the process by which overprints are 
    approved for paper Standard/Optional forms, activities may add other 
    data elements to those required by the committee. With this decision, 
    activities at the local or headquarters level should be able to develop 
    electronic versions which meet the committee's requirements.
    
    Summary
    
        With GSA's approval, the Interagency Committee on Medical Records 
    (ICMR) eliminated the requirement that every electronic version of a 
    medical Standard/Optional form be reviewed and granted an exception. 
    The following data elements must appear on the electronic version of 
    the following form:
