Logical Model: ClinicalDocument (CDA Class)

Official URL: http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/StructureDefinition/ClinicalDocument Version: 2.0.1-sd
Active as of 2025-04-04 Computable Name: ClinicalDocument

This is a generated StructureDefinition that describes CDA - that is, CDA as it actually is for R2. The intent of this StructureDefinition is to enable CDA to be a FHIR resource. That enables the FHIR infrastructure - API, conformance, query - to be used directly against CDA
