Prasanna, I think this would be a great contribution (mapping cTAKES output to existing standards). I think the CEM’s were intended to address it somewhat (last thing we want to do is create yet another standard), however, there are even conflicts in the HL7 standard for different types of notes (which I believe was supposed to be addressed by the CCDA). But would be curious to see what could be done in this space. --Pei

Hi, I have clarification in exchanging formats for various clinical data. I want to know if the cTakes community is working on exporting the clinical data into HL7 compliant formats. As we see, extracting useful information from the unstructured text is one problem. Another problem is mapping the results and exporting them in standard formats such as C83, HL7. I started to work on this lately. But still in the process of exploring different formats. I am looking for some good resources for exporting clinical data in C83 formats. Can anybody tell me if this is also in the scope of cTakes community ?If it not present, can we contribute as a part of cTakes project. Your thoughts are welcome. Regards, Prasanna
