HIMSS11 “CDA and CCD for Patient Summaries”
February 23, 2011 @ 12:20 pm - 12:50 pm
This presentation will introduce the audience to the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD) standards.
CDA is an ANSI-accredited standard specification for the representation of clinical documents (such as Discharge Summary, Diagnostic Imaging Report, Operative Report, Progress Note). CDA is an XML-based document markup standard that specifies the structure and semantics of clinical documents for the purpose of exchange. A CDA document is a defined and complete information object that can exist outside of a message, and can include text, images, sounds, and other multimedia content. Just as you can create a document in MS Word or in PDF, you can create a clinical document in CDA format.
The “A” in “CDA” signifies the ability to constrain CDA to create more specific document types, such as CCD. A CCD document is a CDA document that has been constrained, based on the ASTM CCR data set, specifically for summary documents.
The presentation will also introduce the audience to latest thinking around CDA and CCD implementation simplification, including greenCCD.
