== Issue ==
*CDA R2 doesn't support workflow. This principle was re-enforced during a meeting of O&O and other WGs during the WGM in Orlando (January 2009). This proposal seeks to introduce a mechanism in CDA R3 whereby one could support workflow.

== Recommendation ==
*Add a ControlActEvent class (classCode CACT) with as its subject the Document header.

== Rationale ==
*The proposed change allows for the identification whether the document contents are "for information only" or whether any acts requested in the document should actually be performed (and by whom).

== Discussion ==


== Recommended Action Items ==


== Resolution ==
Intent of the document is to reflect the static model. Any workflow management control is outside the document. This applies only to the header. Proposal rejected. See SDWG minutes from 7/21/2009 for details.
