Description | Scope: The purpose of the CDA Web Publishing project is to move the creation and maintenance of CDA Implementation Guides (and the base standard) onto the new common HL7 publishing tools to improve the usefulness and continuous improvement of the specifications. Use of the new publishing tooling will reduce the burden of specification evolution for HL7 members responsible for updating and improving the specifications, increase scalability of the specification to support an expanding range of data for exchange, reduce cost of publication and maintenance of specifications for HL7 through a unified process, increase the quality of HL7 standards by improving the interoperability of information exchange specifications across HL7 product families, and open a path toward more and better publishing tools that make specification creation easier and more consistent across HL7 product families.
The project covers three phases of activity: 1. Development of tooling infrastructure to enable the use of FHIR IG publisher to produce CDA IGs and CDA templates using structureDefinition, which includes piloting the capability on representing the C-CDA R2.1 IG in the new tooling (C-CDA R2.2); 2. Operationalizing the CDA Web IG Publishing Tool to achieve generalized ability to publish all CDA IGs using this new tooling, which includes automating export/import capability for other IGs developed in previous Trifolia Workbench tool and demonstrating use of new Trifolia tooling to produce and publish C-CDA R2.3; 3. Expanding the methodology to enable other tooling stacks for CDA to migrate to the use of FHIR Structure Definition and one common HL7 IG Publication Process. |

Project Intent | Create New Standard |
Project Need | Health Level Seven International (HL7) supports various publication processes for HL7 standards. For example, one process results in an authoritative Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) specification available in portable document format (PDF), and one that results in an authoritative Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) specification available in a web-publishable format in hypertext markup language (HTML). Implementers have expressed a clear preference for the web-based specifications. HL7 hosts and maintains the de facto, standard tool for publishing FHIR specifications on the web, the FHIR IG Publisher. The need is for HL7 to have the same tooling for publishing CDA specifications on the web. |
