HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2: Long-Term Post-Acute Care Summary, DSTU Release 1 (US Realm)
DESCRIPTION
This guide describes the requirements to create a Long-Term Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) Summary Clinical Document Architechture (CDA) document. It leverages the CDA templates in the HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2.0, Consolidation, Release 1 (US Realm) Draft Standard for Trial Use[1] (Consolidated CDA) and introduces new templates when existing templates did not exist for new requirements.
A LTPAC Summary is a subset of elements from an existing questionnaire assessment instrument that are expressed using a “model of meaning” representation aligned with other CDA patterns published under Meaningful Use. The elements included in this guide were selected by members of the ONC’s Standards and Interoperability (S&I) Framework, under the Patient Assessment Summary Sub-Workgroup (PAS SWG). The members of the PAS SWG selected clinically relevant elements from the Minimum Data Set (MDS) and the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS).
