HL7 Webinar: CDA Release 2 and the CCD
June 22, 2011 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Health Level Seven® International (HL7®), the global authority for interoperability and standards in healthcare information technology with members in 55 countries, will present a complimentary Ambassador webinar on the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture Release 2.0 (CDA) and the Continuity of Care Document (CCD) on Wednesday, June 22 from 11:00 am – 12:00 noon EDT.
The CDA is designed to support the exchange of health information in clinical documentation and the CCD for creating clinical summaries. These specifications were recently named under the federal regulation in the United States to support meaningful use requirements and have also been selected for use in national and regional programs throughout the world. This webinar will explain how the CDA and CCD benefit patients and healthcare providers. It will also assist managers and decision makers involved in the acquisition or development of healthcare IT solutions to understand the business needs met by these HL7 standards. This webinar will also address the newly published greenCDA® Implementation Guide, which maintains the full utility of CDA while making it easier to implement. greenCDA is a simplified XML for CDA templates.
Bob Dolin, MD, president and chief medical officer at Lantana Consulting Group, chair of HL7 International, and co-chair of the HL7 Structured Documents Work Group, will be presenting the webinar. Dr. Dolin is a co-editor of both the CDA standard and the CCD implementation guide. Dr. Dolin has also been the co-editor of many CDA-based implementation guides, including the greenCDA.
