Data Elements: –Defines what data is needed to support a process. –Identifies content of a process. Data Sets: –Defines batches of related data needed to transmit data. –Identifies structure of data necessary to express content within a specific context. PRC is like a three legged stool The three legs are interrelated -- changes to either Process, Data Elements or Data Sets effect the remaining legs of the stool. All three must be balanced to be effective. PROCESS (context) DATA ELEMENTS (content) DATA SETS (structure) Process Review Committee (PRC) defines relationships
