Are we talking about CDA- like standard exports of summarized patient data, or transactional transfers like lab results or radiology? I think having a CCD-compliant import/export tool for OpenMRS would be absolutely amazing... think of what that would mean for interoperability. Since most of the concepts in the CIEL dictionary have SNOMED and other standard maps, I can see us actually being able to accept a CCD from another EMR and have it be mapped into the OpenMRS dictionary and be actionable!

We have a project coming up later this year involving integration of OpenMRS with a PACS radiology system, likely using HL7 and Mirth as the integration engine. For this project, we are likely going to want to export and import Patient Demographics, Orders, Encounters, and Obs.
