Virtual HL7 C-CDA Implementation-a-thon

March 24, 2021   •   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


This full-day, virtual event will be the first of three C-CDA Implementation-A-Thons (IATs) to be offered by HL7 in 2021. And, it promises to be one of the most relevant IATs to date!

Five topics will be led by experienced implementers seeking to drive progress for CDA-based information exchange. The community will be tackling issues that cause challenges for implementers today.

  • Topic 1: Panel of experts and implementers on using data in C-CDA documents for quality measurement use cases
  • Topic 2: New data classes and elements in the Draft US Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) V2
  • Topic 3: "Ask the ONC", certification, the ONC scorecard, USCDI V2 and the new real world testing program
  • Topic 4:  Closed-loop referral use case, cross-community (IHE, HL7 and DirectTrust) collaboration for better testing and greater impact
  • Topic 5: Product roadmap for CDA and C-CDA

Don't miss this fun and informative event designed specifically for the C-CDA implementer community!
