Gravity SDOH -  STU2 ballot. Race and Ethnicity issue with US CORE (NCQA measures 5 going to 10, but US CORE not compatible)

The challenge is that US Core does not break down Patient Characteristics as to where the codes come form, but provenance of data is required.  Race is part of the Census Bureau and some of the codes need to be fixed.  The CDC only reviews yearly data and we need help getting them to make changes.  Stanley stated that Steve Posniak (ONC) is the US Realm co-chair and may be able to help with the CDC.
