The HL7 Clinical Document Architecture

• minimize technical barriers to implementation

• promote longevity of clinical records• scoped by exchange, independent of

transfer or storage• enable policy-makers to control

Why ?• Lack of usable and re-usable

electronic data: Numbers moving slowly upward, if at all

• Need to get information to the point of care, as-needed, when needed

• Need to leverage investment in information through re-use for decision support, claims, clinical trials…

Applications of the CDA…or

What can you dowith a few tags?

• access/portability/exchange– query/locate by patient, provider, practioner,

setting, encounter, date– access distributed information through

common metadata

• integration– multiple transcription systems– with EHR records

• re-use/derivative data– summaries, reports– decision support

“Context - Contents of a clinical document share a common context unless all or part of that context is overridden or nullified.”

Other Key Aspects of CDA

• CDA documents are encoded in XML• CDA documents derive their meaning

from the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM) and use the HL7 Version 3 data types

• The CDA specification is generic to all clinical content

• CDA documents can be constrained to meet the requirements of specific document types

• CDA documents are “human readable” =– This principle means that CDA documents

are human readable using: a) widely-available and commonly deployed

XML-aware browsers and print drivers and b) a generic CDA style sheet written in a

standard style sheet language.

• CDA documents are also “machine processable” to the degree that markup has been added– required markup provides initial

functionality– optional markup can augment processing

The CDA Header: Purpose

• The CDA Header is constant across all CDA documents. Its purpose is to:– Enable clinical document exchange

across and within institutions– Facilitate clinical document management– Facilitate compilation of an individual

patient’s clinical documents into a lifetime electronic patient record(“uniquely identify a single patient”)

Code Display Name Definition ADMPHYS admitting physician A physician who admitted a patient to a hospital or other care unit that is the context of this

service. ANEST anesthesist In a typical anesthesia setting an anesthesiologist or anesthesia resident in charge of the

anesthesia and life support, but only a witness to the surgical procedure itself. To clarify responsibilities anesthesia should always be represented as a separate service related to the surgery.

ANRS anesthesia nurse In a typical anesthesia setting the nurse principally assisting the anesthesiologist during the critical periods.

ATTPHYS attending physician A physician who is primarily responsible for a patient during the hospitalization, which is the context of the service.

DISPHYS discharging physician A physician who discharged a patient from a hospital or other care unit that is the context of this service.

FASST first assistant surgeon In a typical surgery setting the assistant facing the primary surgeon. The first assistant performs parts of the operation and assists in others (e.g., incision, approach, electrocoutering, ligatures, sutures.)

MDWF midwife A person (usually female) helping a woman deliver a baby. Responsibilities vary locally, ranging from a mere optional assistant to a full required participant, responsible for (normal) births and pre- and post-natal care for both mother and baby.

NASST nurse assistant In a typical surgery setting the non-sterile nurse handles material supply from the stock, forwards specimen to pathology, and helps with other non-sterile tasks (e.g., phone calls, etc.)

PCP primary care physician The healthcare provider that holds primary responsibility for the overall care of a patient. PRISURG primary surgeon In a typical surgery setting the primary performing surgeon. RNDPHYS rounding physician A physician who made rounds on a patient in a hospital or other care center. SASST second assistant surgeon In a typical surgery setting the assistant who primarily holds the hooks. SNRS scrub nurse In a typical surgery setting the nurse in charge of the instrumentation. TASST third assistant In a typical surgery setting there is rarely a third assistant (e.g., in some Hip operations the third

assistant postures the affected leg.)

Jim Klein, Gartner Group, on HL7’s CDA, April, 2001 RU:

“HL7's Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) defines a new target for clinical information exchange that is substantially easier to hit than one based on standards for discrete data while delivering 80 percent of the value of the latter approach.”

ASTM/HL7 MOU• “ASTM has just adopted a standard set

of core data elements for a Continuity of Care Record (CCR) and is in the process of developing an implementation guide for same, and HL7 has adopted a standard for Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and a standard for the functionality of an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Since both SDOs want implementations based on these standards to be semantically interoperable, we agree to cooperate in the process of harmonizing the definitions of the data elements and the methods for representing instances of the data elements in XML….

HL7 Templates

• Who creates HL7 Templates?– domain experts– standards groups (e.g., ASTM)– regulatory agencies

• Where are templates used?– within CDA documents– within HL7 V3 messages

• CDA: single-styesheet rendering favors simple exchange for point of care review

• CDA CCR: will integrate required semantics for additional machine processing, reuse, RIM-based interoperability, retaining single-stylesheet rendering

CDA::CCR compatibility

• Existing levels of generality– CDA is generic to any document type– CCR is specific to referral-type

scenarios, but general to requirements of any single implementation

• Ideal: CCR-compliant CDA with template for automated validation of local requirements
