HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2 - Level 1 and 2 - Care Record Summary (US realm)

DESCRIPTION

The Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2 – Level 1 and 2 – Care Record Summary (US realm) describes constraints on the CDA Header and Body elements for Care Record Summary documents.  A Care Record Summary document contains patient's relevant health history for some time period.  It is intended for communication between healthcare providers and provides disparate hospital systems a standard format to report back to a primary care provider or other parties interested in the patient's hospital care. See CDA Implementation Guide for Care Record Summary, Release 2, Discharge Summary DSTU for most recent version.

IMPLEMENTATIONS/CASE STUDIES

  • In development

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

The Care Record Summary (CRS), issued in June 23, 2006, was the first balloted Implementation Guide for CDA R2. CRS covered CDA Levels 1, 2, however, did not specify Level 3 templates (CDA entries). CCD, meanwhile, developed a rich set of Level 3 templates, however, CCD is not a discharge summary and does not specify a hospital course. The purpose of this update was to  issue a discharge summary-specific CRS updated for compliance with the current approach to CDA templates in CCD and the HL7 Health Story Implementation Guides. The resulting specification is consistent with IHE XDS-MS for Discharge Summary and HITSP C48 and does not introduce conflicting requirements.
