The data selection tool was created to help program administrators identify the data elements being implemented by other programs using HPXML. The tool also helps administrators select and communicate data requirements for the program to contractors, trade allies, and other stakeholders. Administrators may select one or more datasets from a drop-down menu to learn which data is "required" by a dataset and which data is "optional."

The data selection tool is a “living document.” If a program identifies data points that are not in the datasets, the HPXML Working Group can assist in adding them to the tool to meet the program’s needs.

The data selection tool can be downloaded here. A video is also available to help you learn how to use the tool.
