HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2: CDA Framework for Questionnaire Assessments, DSTU Release 2

DESCRIPTION

This specification has been retired and will be retained for historical purposes.

The intent of the current project is two-fold: carry forward the Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2 CDA Framework for Questionnaire Assessments (Universal Realm) and provide specific guidance on implementing the CARE Questionnaire Assessment Forms used in long-term care hospital (LTCH) settings.

The intent of the Questionnaire Assessment Framework is a generic standard that may be applied to patient questionnaire assessment tools that are used to assess patient medical, cognitive, functional, and health status. The intent is not to define a standard framework for all assessment types such as an acute hospital admission physical assessment, shift assessments, or discharge assessments.

ALTERNATIVE NAMES

HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2: CDA Framework for Questionnaire Assessments, DSTU Release 2 may also go by the following names or acronyms:

TARGETS

• Quality Reporting Agencies
• Standards Development Organizations (SDOs)
• EHR, PHR Vendors
• Health Care IT Vendors
• Healthcare Institutions (hospitals, long term care, home care, mental health)

BENEFITS

• Creates constraints for the uniform assessment instrument known as Continuity Assessment Record and Evaluation (CARE), which is a standardized set of data elements that captures health and functional status data for beneficiaries regardless of payor or provider type across settings over time

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

The Questionnaire Assessment DSTU was developed and published in 2009 to specify a standard for electronic submission of questionnaire assessment tools that allowed healthcare facilities to communicate questionnaire assessment reports in an interoperable, industry-standard format. The guide consisted of two parts: a framework applicable to all questionnaire assessment tools and an implementation of that framework for the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 as it existed previously.
