Draft as of 2022-05-13 Computable Name: CCDAR2dot2

Purpose

This two-volume implementation guide (IG) contains an overview of Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) markup standards, design, and use (Volume 1) and a consolidated library of CDA templates for clinical notes applicable to the US Realm (Volume 2). These two volumes comprise a Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU). It has been adapted from the Release 2.0 version of the Consolidated CDA Templates for Clinical Notes to support backward compatibility “on the wire” with the 1.1 Release of the templates described in this guide. This will enable implementers of systems conforming to this guide to produce documents that can be understood by systems which only support the C-CDA Release 1.1 specification. The consolidated library incorporates previous efforts from Health Level Seven (HL7), Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE), the Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP), the HL7 Health Story guides, HITSP C32, and related components of IHE Patient Care Coordination (IHE PCC). It has additional or enhanced document types for greater expressivity and decrease ambiguity (see Volume 2 Summary of Changes). Volume 1 adds new general guidance (see Summary of Changes). This guide, in conjunction with the HL7 CDA Release 2 (CDA R2) standard, is to be used for implementing the following CDA documents and header constraints for clinical notes.

Audience

The audience for this implementation guide includes architects and developers of healthcare information technology (HIT) systems in the US Realm that exchange patient clinical data. Business analysts and policy managers can also benefit from a basic understanding of the use of CDA templates across multiple implementation use cases.

Organization of the Guide

This implementation guide is organized into two volumes. Volume 1 contains primarily narrative text describing the Consolidated CDA Release 2 (C-CDA R2) guide, whereas Volume 2 contains normative CDA template definitions.

Acknowledgments
