Hi all,

I'm validating a C-CDA against the SVAP USCDI v4 test data for 170.315(b)(1) Transitions of Care, Inpatient setting, Sample 1 (170.315_b1_toc_inp_uscdiv4_sample1_v1.pdf).

The NIST/SITE C-CDA validator is throwing the following content validation error:

"The scenario contains Facility data with type 1160-1, however there is no matching data in the submitted CCDA"

However, the published Sample 1 PDF test data (Section D, Encounter Diagnoses) explicitly instructs the following for the Service Delivery Location on both encounter diagnosis rows (D63.1/ICD-10 and 234348004/SNOMED-CT):

Facility Type Code = 1027-2 ("Medical Critical Care")
CodeSystem = Healthcare Service Location Code System (2.16.840.1.113883.6.259)

I built my C-CDA to match the PDF instructions exactly (code 1027-2), but the validator is instead expecting code 1160-1 ("Urgent Care Center") in that same codeSystem, and is not finding it in my submission.

Could you please confirm:

1. Is this a known discrepancy between the published Sample 1 PDF and the validator's internal expected-data/scenario file for this criterion?
2. Should vendors use 1027-2 (per the PDF) or 1160-1 (per the validator), or does the validator accept either?
3. If this is a bug, is there a timeline for the validator's scenario file being updated to match the current SVAP USCDI v4 PDF?

Happy to share my submitted CCDA XML if that's helpful for troubleshooting.

Thank you!

Hello,

Requested details as follows:

  • The C-CDA validation scenario you are running (criteria and scenario file name, if applicable)
    • USCDI v4 >> Sender >> 170.315_b1_ToC_Inp >> Sample 1 (170.315_b1_toc_inp_uscdiv4_sample1_v1.pdf
  • The specific issue you are encountering
    • When validating the C-CDA XML against above mentioned Sample 1 Scenario file, NIST is throwing error "The scenario contains Facility data with type 1160-1, however there is no matching data in the submitted CCDA"
  • The relevant C-CDA XML document or snippet (please do not include any PHI/PII)
    • This is the part I need help with. We are not sure where to add the 1160-1 code, since its not called out in XML
  • The exact error or warning message(s) observed (screenshots if available)
    • "The scenario contains Facility data with type 1160-1, however there is no matching data in the submitted CCDA"
