Updates

January 31, 2024

CMS updated the current HIS Manual to incorporate a change in terminology, referencing the Consensus-based Entity, or CBE. The Downloads below now includes a new manual, HIS Manual V3.01 and an HIS Manual Change Table V3.00 to V3.01. These minor changes to the text in the manual had no impact on the current data sets. HIS Admission V3.00 and HIS Discharge V3.00 are still the current versions.
