Clinical Header namespace description (RDDL)

Clinical documents are constructed of a header and a body. The header is a structure that is consistent from one type of document to another. The clinical body varies depending on the document type. For example, one might have an operative report or a discharge summary. Both have a clinical header of the same structure, but the body varies in structure, containing information specific to the type of document.
