Just for the sake of discussion, See slides 22 and 23: http://www.healthit.gov/sites/default/files/c-cda_and_meaningfulusecertification.pdf
"As disparate SDOs (HL7, IHE, HITSP, etc.) developed CDA IGs, multiple approaches for documenting template requirements began to diverge threatening interoperability?" IG = Implementation Guide So my wild guess is they created a new artifact with the same problems the current artifacts have, like the need for an IG, instead of doing a little research and find a better solution like using archetypes to model and "consolidate" CDA templates. Does anyone know more about CCDA? Do you think this is a good area of work for openEHR in the US? I mean, maybe we (as a community) can propose an openEHR-based solution or make some kind of statement, for documental consolidation than having another implementation guide + CDA templates. What do you think? -- Kind regards, Eng. Pablo Pazos Guti?rrez http://cabolabs.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
