C-CDA Examples

Questions are often raised regarding how certain demographic and clinical data should be represented using C-CDA templates.

Often there are disagreements on whether certain approaches in data representations are desirable, correct or constitute best practices.

Representation of allergy/intolerance and adverse reactions data in C-CDA Adverse Reaction Section and Entry templates is one such area where significant disagreements exist.

PCWG is collaborating with experts from Structured Document WG and other interested parties in developing:

  • Guidelines on how best to represent allergy/intolerance and adverse reactions using C-CDA templates
  • xml examples representing a variety of use cases

The C-CDA Example Task Force is working on producing a number of xml examples to provide guidance on how different C-CDA templates can/should be used to exchange demographic and clinical data.
