Clinical Document Architecture
2.0.1-sd - release

Clinical Document Architecture, published by Health Level 7. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.1-sd built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/CDA-core-sd/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Logical Model: Order (CDA Class)

Official URL: http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/StructureDefinition/Order Version: 2.0.1-sd
Active as of 2025-09-17 Computable Name: Order

This class represents those orders that are fulfilled by this document. For instance, a provider orders an X-Ray. The X-Ray is performed. A radiologist reads the X-Ray and generates a report. The X-Ray order identifier is transmitted in the Order class, the performed X-Ray procedure is transmitted in the ServiceEvent class, and the ClinicalDocument.code would be valued with "Diagnostic Imaging Report".
