C-CDA Implementation-A-Thon

July 28, 2021   •   Virtual Event (10AM - 6PM EST)

The Virtual HL7 Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) Implementation-A-Thon (IAT) plays an important role of helping implementers reduce inconsistencies in C-CDA implementations across the healthcare industry.

This year the CDA Management Group (CMG) aims to use the C-CDA Implementation to expand outreach to engage new communities and increase the impact of this content improvement effort.  "We learned so much last year about how to maximize the value of implementer-led implementation-a-thons," said CMG Co-Chair Lisa Nelson. "The new approach was a step in the right direction. It helped implementers drive the conversation and focus the community on making changes that would yield valuable improvements," she explained.

"This year we're following the advice provided by Chuck Jaffee at the January HL7 Working Group meeting. We're extending our outreach to connect with new communities," CMG Co-Chair Linda Michaelsen explained. "Representatives from IHE, Sequoia, CommonWell, Carequality, SHIEC, DirectTrust, VA/DOD, SSA, and NCQA have come together to identify high value use cases for CDA.  This year's IATs seeks to harness the power of cross-community collaboration to drive greater improvement in the quality of C-CDA documents," she added.

 

In 2020, CMG changed the format of the program to put implements in the driver's seat.  "A lot of action items with impact have been identified using this new approach," said C-CDA IAT facilitator Jean Duteau. "We've generated new examples, made extensions to the core CDA specification, request new rubric rules for the ONC Scorecard, and posted many enhancement comments as a result of the input generated by implementers at this event," said Duteau. "I'm certain the new move to connect more CDA communities will multiply the impact."

Join us at the C-CDA IAT to identify issues and potential trouble spots with implementations.

Agenda

The focus for July's C-CDA IAT is "accelerating advances through collaboration and teamwork".  We'll be teaming across the Sequoia Data Usability Work Group, IHE, and DirectTrust to advance the use of the synthetic suite of documents created for demonstrating how C-CDA can be used to create more effective communication, enable closed-loop referrals and improved care coordination.  
 
Topics will include greater understanding about the International Patient Summary implementation guide, how to utilize the support processes within the CDA Community to address a challenge, and what is happening with a new initiative at HL7 to develop mapping guidance for C-CDA to and from FHIR.  The crowd favorite, Ask the ONC session will focus on the released version of USCDI V2 and new guidance about the ongoing evolution of the USCDI process.
 
Expect a summer field-day feel with team-building exercises that focus on building skills, knowledge and an appetite for collaboration that will help the CDA Community improve faster.
