Hi,

In response to great interest in the work done in refining CDA implementation requirements in the context of the Canadian national health infrastructure project, we have posted their draft Implementation Guide.

See: http://www.hl7.org/Library/Committees/structure/CDA_IG%20WD03.pdf

The Abstract of the document reads:

The Electronic Medical Summary (e-MS) Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) Implementation Guide (e-MSIG) provides background information on HL7 CDA Release 2 as well as CDA implementation specifics as they relate to the e-MS. An e-MS is a subset of patient data suitable for communication among primary health care practitioners and other health care providers for the purpose of sharing the care of a patient. The Implementation Guide outlines details on each section of the e-MS CDA including data elements with their associated vocabularies (where applicable), schemas, and both human and machine readable XML examples.

Project Manager Karen Kuhn wrote in response to the request to post the document:

We are happy to be able to contribute to the HL7 community and very pleased to have our efforts validated. As Helen may have mentioned, it has been a challenge for us to be the first and not have any examples to follow. Please feel free to post our guide to your web page. We have also posted it on our web site at www.e-ms.ca/documentation.php if you want to include the link for the most up-to-date documentation.

Thanks,

Karen Kuhn
