Learning objectives 1. Explain why Consolidated CDA is relevant to Health Story Project (5) 2. Gain familiarity with the structure of a CDA document (15) 3. Appreciate the evolution of the Consolidated CDA (C-CDA) standard (20) 4. Discover reference sources for information about CDA and C-CDA (5) 5. Address questions about C-CDA (15)
Why is C-CDA important to Health Story?
CDA Design Principles 1. Persistence A clinical document continues to exist in an unaltered state, for a time period defined by local and regulatory requirements (NOTE: There is a distinct scope of persistence for a clinical document, independent of the persistence of any XML-encoded CDA document instance). 2. Stewardship A clinical document is maintained by an organization entrusted with its care. 3. Potential for authentication - A clinical document is an assemblage of information that is intended to be legally authenticated. 4. Context - A clinical document establishes the default context for its contents. 5. Wholeness - Authentication of a clinical document applies to the whole and does not apply to portions of the document without the full context of the document. 6. Human readability A clinical document is human readable.

Challenges Issue Risk of not maintaining enough focus, insufficient velocity of updates under rising demand Demonstration projects and pilots seem divergent and incompatible when used beyond display-only While CDA has the ability to organize collections of relevant data for sharing and re-use, it is not appropriate or sufficient for initial data capture Mitigation HIMSS Interoperability & Standards Practices Task Force C-CDA Specification Review Subgroup http://www.himss.org/get-involved/committees/interoperability-and-standards-committee HL7 is mindful of the requirements, continuously reviews the needs, has issued assurance of timely updates Provide additional guidance to close the gap between guidance and implementation.
