P4L distinguishes the sourced record from interpretation. Program inclusion, participation, funding, proposal status, or a public listing does not by itself establish clinical effectiveness, endorsement, coverage, or scaled adoption unless the cited source specifically establishes it.

Version context

This record remains relevant to the 2026 SVAP Approved Version. USCDI v7 is the latest released version; latest-release questions should resolve there.
