IMPLEMENTATIONS/CASE STUDIES
- Structured Documents WG – CDA R2 Implementation Guides
DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
This version of the guide addresses use of SNOMED CT in the CDA Release 2 standard in particular. There are two primary reasons for this focus: (1) The current guidance in this ballot represents an incremental update from the prior DSTU (May 2009), as the CDA R2 standard (as a part of the HL7 V3 family) is based on versions of the RIM and Clinical Statement Pattern that are similar to those that were addressed in the prior DSTU; (2) CDA R2 represents a very important current use case of HL7 V3, as there is a great deal of CDA implementation activity occurring worldwide at present and likely for the foreseeable future (including Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Records in the US). Future guide versions are anticipated to expand the guidance related to other HL7 standards and terminologies.
