Description | This project proposes an effort to identify the means to apply a digital signature - and where appropriate, delegation of rights artifacts - to a CDA document to satisfy requirements for provenance of the document for administrative purposes. In particular, reimbursement policies for Medicare and Medicaid Services require the ability to establish authorship of medical documentation to support benefit coverage determination. |
