you are asking about "to encode clinical data".  "Encoding" can mean
different things, from how it is represented in an information model,
over what code systems (vocabularies) to use, down to what bytes to
store in a file or send over the wire.  If you want to learn about the
downstream activities that follow the information model to produce
messages, you can read the HL7 Message Development Framework (MDF)
from the HL7 web site (www.hl7.org.)

The USAM only talks about the information model.
