===Summary===
 
===Summary===
The purpose of this implementation guide (IG) is to specify a standard for electronic submission of Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Reports to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) defines the overall approach and method of electronic submission and develops constraints defining specific HAI report types.

Throughout this process, CDC remains the authority on NHSN data collection protocols. Occurrences such as specific reportable procedures, even those without complications, and events such as a bloodstream infection, either confirmed by a positive blood culture or supported by a patient‘s clinical symptoms, are reportable to the CDC when health care enterprises choose to participate in NHSN. This specification opens the channel for data submission by all applications compliant with the data coding requirements defined here.

Future work on HAI reporting will continue to expand the set of forms covered by the specification. In the future, the latest set of any value set referenced in this guide will be made available through CDC‘s Public Health Information Network Vocabulary Access and Distribution System (PHIN VADS; http://phinvads.cdc.gov). A link to the PHIN VADS vocabularies and other pertinent information are available through the CDC-maintained e-mail list of contacts at organizations interested in or responsible for implementations of CDA for HAI reporting to NHSN. To be added to the list, send a request with your contact information to nhsn@cdc.gov. CDC uses the list for e-mail notifications of changes, including new data requirements. Changes may apply to this IG and to other documents such as business rules that are needed to implement and support CDA for HAI reporting to NHSN. In addition, the CDA tab at the NHSN members’ website (http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/) will provide access to the current version of this IG.

Data collected in NHSN are used for improving patient safety at the local and national levels. In aggregate, CDC analyzes and publishes surveillance data to estimate and characterize the national burden of healthcare-associated infections. At the local level, the data analysis features of NHSN that are available to participating facilities range from rate tables and graphs to statistical analysis that compares the healthcare facility’s rates with the national aggregate metrics.

*HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Personal Healthcare Monitoring Report, Release 1; [http://www.hl7.org/dstucomments/ DSTU] ending Nov 2010
  
 
===Summary===
 
===Summary===
The implementation guide specifies CDA based representation of data/information (mostly containing analysed and raw information of data generated by personal healthcare monitoring devices such as glucometers, BP cuffs, thermometers, weight scales).
 
  
The implementation guide for this HL7 DSTU was co-developed by Continua Health Alliance(http://www.continuaalliance.org), which also provides a certification of compliance to the specification. Continua Health Alliance also has a Liaison Agreement with HL7. The guide conforms with the HL7 CCD and describes how to use CCD templates for communicating home health data to an electronic health record. Ends November 2010.
+
This Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) is an extension of HL7's Continuity of Care Document (CCD) specification. The purpose of this document is to describe constraints on the CDA Header and Body elements for Personal Healthcare Monitoring Report (PHMR) documents mostly containing analysed and raw information of data generated by personal healthcare monitoring devices such as glucometers, BP cuffs, thermometers, weight scales.
 +
 
 +
The PHMR is a document that carries personal healthcare monitoring information.  The information is transmitted as notes and as raw data. Notes may be supplied by a disease management service provider. The information may have multiple characteristics, including:
 +
*Representation of measurements captured by devices.
 +
*Representation of notes, summaries, and other kinds of narrative information that may be added by caregivers or by the users themselves.
 +
*Representation of graphs that may be added by intermediary devices that represent trends of users’ health.
 +
 
 +
A CDA-based format has been chosen to accommodate the wide variety of information available.
 +
 
 +
Wherever possible, the PHMR reuses templates already set forth by the HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD).

*HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Neonatal Care Report (NCR) (US Realm)
 +
 +
===Type===
 +
DSTU
 +
 +
===Releases===
 +
Release 1
 +
 +
===Summary===
 +
This project is intended to facilitate electronic extraction of a subset of the Children’s Hospitals Neonatal Consortium (CHNC)  data set using a standard reporting specification in the form of a Neonatal Care Report (NCR) to support performance improvement and research.  CHNC and CHCA, a business alliance of 43 leading children’s hospitals in North America, envision this effort as a building block for more widespread use of the electronic medical record in place of manual data abstraction..
 +
 +
===Description===
 +
 +
This implementation guide is a conformance profile, as described in the Refinement and Localization section of the HL7 Version 3 standards.  The base standard for this implementation guide is the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2.0.  As defined in that document, this implementation guide is both an annotation profile and a localization profile; it does not describe every aspect of CDA.
 +
 +
The CHNC core data set contains around 700 data elements; this Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) addresses a subset of approximately 60 data elements including 37 physiologic and laboratory elements for assessment of illness severity (Acuity indicator data generic organizer) and 21 base data elements found throughout the header and body of the NCR (e.g., name, medical record number, birth weight, and discharge head circumference). Some of the data elements included in the NCR are known to correspond to Vermont Oxford Network (VON); others correspond to data collection sets mapped to national standards such as the Continuity of Care Document (CCD) and the Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA).  This effort with an initial portion of the data provides the opportunity to work with the data from the perspective of the underlying model and electronic format and to explore many design issues thoroughly. This initial step ensures that the data set developers and standards community can reach consensus prior to the larger time commitment that would be required to bring the full data set into standard format.
 +
 +
This project supports reusability and ease of data collection through a standard data representation harmonized with work developed through Health Information Technology Expert Panel (HITEP), balloted through Health Level Seven (HL7), and/or recognized by the Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP).
 +
 +
This implementation guide (IG) specifies a standard for electronic submission of NCRs in a Clinical Document Architecture (CDA), Release 2 (R2) format.
 +
 +
 +
===Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)===
 +
The audience for this document includes software developers and implementers who wish to develop reporting capabilities within their electronic health record (EHR and Pediatric EHR systems), and developers and analysts in receiving institutions who wish to process CDA NCR documents created according to this specification.  The intended audience also includes neonatal experts and other children’s hospital providers.
 +
 +
===Benefits===
 +
Through the systematic collection and analyses of clinical data on infants admitted to children’s hospital NICUs, CHNC expects to spearhead benchmarking, quality improvement, and research initiatives that have not previously been possible in their patient population.

===Summary===
 
===Summary===
A Diagnostic Imaging Report contains a consulting specialist’s interpretation of image data. It is intended to convey the interpretation to the referring (ordering) physician and become part of the patient’s medical record. The purpose of this Implementation Guide (IG) is to describe constraints on the CDA Header and Body elements for Diagnostic Imaging Reports. It is intended for use in Radiology, Endoscopy, Cardiology, and other imaging specialties.
+
This Implementation Guide provides consistent guidance for sending/receiving unstructured clinical documents including images, scanned documents, faxed and word processor output. This Implementation Guide describes constraints on use of the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) header and body elements for an Unstructured Document. 
 +
 
 +
In many environments much of the patient record is still captured in an unstructured format that is encapsulated within an image file, or as unstructured text in an electronic file such as a word processing or Portable Document Format (PDF) documents.
 +
 
 +
===Description===
 +
 
 +
This implementation guide is a conformance profile, as described in the Refinement and Localization section of the HL7 Version 3 standards.  The base standard for this implementation guide is the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2.0.  As defined in that document, this implementation guide is both an annotation profile and a localization profile. CDA R2 is not fully described in this guide, so implementers must be familiar with the requirements of the base specification. This guide addresses only Level 1 constraints because of the nature and purpose of this guide: additional levels of coding are not applicable since they require the use of a structuredBody, which this implementation guide prohibits.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
The approach taken in the development of this specification was to review existing draft and final specifications or implementation guides for similar artifacts in the U.S.:
 +
*Clinical LOINC® document and section codes
 +
*Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) Constructs, including the Encounter Document Using IHE Medical Summary (XDS-MS) Component (C48)
 +
*HL7 Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2 Normative Web Edition, 2005
 +
*Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Profiles, including the content profiles within Patient Care Coordination (PCC) and specifically the IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework Volume 3 (ITI TF-3) Cross-Transaction Specifications and Content Specifications Revision 6.0. (See  Relationship to IHE's XDS-SD on the relationship of this guide to XDS-SD.)
 +
*Non-CDA sample documents supplied by participating providers and vendors
 +
 
 +
 
 +
This guide is not intended to be a replacement for IHE’s XDS-SD (Cross-Transaction Specifications and Content Specifications, Scanned Documents Module) profile. Rather, it serves a more generic use case. XDS-SD is specifically for scanned documents, and limits content to PDF-A or text. This Unstructured Documents implementation guide is applicable not only for scanned documents in non-PDF formats, but also for clinical documents produced through word processing applications, etc.

The audience for this document is software developers and consultants responsible for implementation of Radiology Information Systems, Radiology Reporting Systems, Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), other image and imaging management systems, and dictation/transcription and document management systems. A secondary audience is developers of specifications for health information networks, both governmental and non-governmental, who may specify use of this Implementation Guide for Diagnostic Imaging Reports. These systems are expected to transmit results of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems or health information exchange networks as CDA documents created according to this IG.
 
  
 
===Benefits===
 
===Benefits===
The DICOM standard specifies a basic imaging report as a Structured Reporting (SR) document for the reports that make up the bulk of radiology practice volume. However, implementation of SR for basic reporting has been limited because such reporting is done in HL7-based information systems. The Implementation Guide provides a defined transformation between DICOM SR and HL7 CDA, with guidance for HL7 CDA implementers wishing to create CDA report documents compatible with DICOM reporting contexts.
+
In many environments much of the patient record is still captured in an unstructured format that is encapsulated within an image file or as unstructured text in an electronic file such as a word processing or Portable Document Format (PDF) documents.
 +
 
 +
There is a need to raise the level of interoperability for these documents to provide full access to the longitudinal patient record across a continuum of care. Until this gap is addressed, image and multi-media files will continue to be a portion of the patient record that remains difficult to access and share with all participants in a patient’s care. (See Relationship to IHE's XDS-SD on the relationship of this guide to IHE’s XDS-SD.)

  • HL7 Implementation Guide CDA Release 2 - Level 3: Healthcare Associated Infection Reports, Release 5 (US Realm);DSTU ends August 2012

Summary

The purpose of this implementation guide (IG) is to specify a standard for electronic submission of Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Reports to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) defines the overall approach and method of electronic submission and develops constraints defining specific HAI report types. As reports are modified and new report types are defined, additional constraints will be developed and published by CDC and Health Level Seven (HL7).

Throughout this process, CDC remains the authority on NHSN data collection protocols. Occurrences such as specific reportable procedures, even those without complications, and events such as a bloodstream infection, either confirmed by a positive blood culture or supported by a patient‘s clinical symptoms, are reportable to the CDC when health care enterprises choose to participate in NHSN. This specification opens the channel for data submission by all applications compliant with the data coding requirements defined here.

Note that participation in the NHSN requires enrollment and filing of reporting plans, which are not defined by this specification. For an overview of NHSN and full information on NHSN participation requirements, see: http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/

Note that provisions of the Public Health Service Act protect all data reported to NHSN from discovery through the Freedom Of Information Act.

This implementation was the first use of the CDA R2 for public health reporting. Since the initial ballot in spring of 2007, additional use cases have been identified and a CDA Implementation Guide for Public Health Case Reports (PHCR) has been developed.

Future work may develop an overarching set of principles for use of CDA in this context under the project tentatively named "CDA for Reporting".

Subsequent releases have added new report types and extended the population-summary report to encompass additional data sets.

Future work on HAI reporting will continue to expand the set of forms covered by the specification. In the future, the latest set of any value set referenced in this guide will be made available through CDC‘s Public Health Information Network Vocabulary Access and Distribution System (PHIN VADS; http://phinvads.cdc.gov). A link to the PHIN VADS vocabularies and other pertinent information are available through the CDC-maintained e-mail list of contacts at organizations interested in or responsible for implementations of CDA for HAI reporting to NHSN. To be added to the list, send a request with your contact information to nhsn@cdc.gov. CDC uses the list for e-mail notifications of changes, including new data requirements. Changes may apply to this IG and to other documents such as business rules that are needed to implement and support CDA for HAI reporting to NHSN. In addition, the CDA tab at the NHSN members’ website (http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/) will provide access to the current version of this IG.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
  • National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) member Health Care organizations and facilities,
  • Health Care HIS and Clinical Decision Support (CDS) software vendors

The audience for this work is all developers of software systems who want to enable their systems for reporting HAI data to the NHSN.

Benefits

Data collected in NHSN are used for improving patient safety at the local and national levels. In aggregate, CDC analyzes and publishes surveillance data to estimate and characterize the national burden of healthcare-associated infections. At the local level, the data analysis features of NHSN that are available to participating facilities range from rate tables and graphs to statistical analysis that compares the healthcare facility’s rates with the national aggregate metrics.

Implementations/ Case Studies (Actual Users)

The use of the CDA for NHSN HAI Reports DSTU (based on Release 2) officially went into production use on October 15, 2009. Since that time, multiple vendors and institutions have begun submitting HAI data for Blood Stream Infection (BSI), Surgical Site Infection (SSI) and Procedure and ICU denominator events directly to the CDC using this standard. The vendors who participated in the 2007-2008 pilot activities for Bloodstream and Surgical Site Infection reporting include MedMined™ services from Cardinal Health, EpiQuest, ICPA, Premier, TheraDoc, and Vecna Technologies.

Product Name - CDA R2 IG PHM Reports

  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Personal Healthcare Monitoring Report

Type

DSTU

Releases

  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Personal Healthcare Monitoring Report (PHMR), (International Realm) Draft Standard for Trial Use, Release 2; DSTU (July 2010)
  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Personal Healthcare Monitoring Report, Release 1; DSTU ending Nov 2010

Summary

This Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) is an extension of HL7's Continuity of Care Document (CCD) specification. The purpose of this document is to describe constraints on the CDA Header and Body elements for Personal Healthcare Monitoring Report (PHMR) documents mostly containing analysed and raw information of data generated by personal healthcare monitoring devices such as glucometers, BP cuffs, thermometers, weight scales.

The PHMR is a document that carries personal healthcare monitoring information. The information is transmitted as notes and as raw data. Notes may be supplied by a disease management service provider. The information may have multiple characteristics, including:

  • Representation of measurements captured by devices.
  • Representation of notes, summaries, and other kinds of narrative information that may be added by caregivers or by the users themselves.
  • Representation of graphs that may be added by intermediary devices that represent trends of users’ health.

A CDA-based format has been chosen to accommodate the wide variety of information available.

Wherever possible, the PHMR reuses templates already set forth by the HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD).


Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

The guide will be used by personal health management organizations (such as disease management organizations) to transfer remotely monitored patient data to electronic health records.

Benefits

The specification will foster the development of automated interface between remote data monitoring services and EHR systems.

The Continua Health Alliance provides an implementation guide that includes guidelines for IHE XDS based transport of the document.

Continua Health Alliance also offers a certification process for data source compliance the interface. This will enable high interoperability with the standard specification.

Implementations/ Case Studies (Actual Users)

The major implementation was performed by IBM. IBM's WebSphere Sensor Events platform collects, processes, and routes medical device and sensor data. We have used Personal Healthcare Monitoring Report (PHM) document format, in the context of Continua HRN interface, to achieve data exchange from WebSphere Sensor Events to various applications, for example chronic disease management application vendor products. IBM also used the HRN interface to achieve data exchange from WebSphere Sensor Events into a health information exchange.

In addition there were several prototypes developed within the continua health alliance scope by NHS, Roche, Phillips, Lamprey Networks and others.

Continua Health Alliance also implemented a test tool for certification of compliance to the specification.

Releases

Release 1, ending April 2011

Summary

The purpose of this Implementation Guide (IG) is to specify a standard for electronic submission for CDA Questionnaire Assessments that will allow health care facilities and providers to communicate reports in an interoperable, industry-standard format. Questionnaire Assessments contain multiple questions with specific answers. These questions typically assess a variety of clinical domains including the patient’s functional and disability status and may include assessment scales to quantify the assessment. Frequently these types of assessments are used in long-term care settings (e.g., nursing facilities, home health agencies, and residential care facilities) or in outpatient settings with patients who have certain chronic physical and mental health conditions.

Description

  • Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: CDA Framework for Questionnaire Assessments (Universal Realm) describes constraints on CDA Release 2 to provide a framework for patient Questionnaire Assessments that can be used internationally.
  • CDA Representation of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Questionnaire Assessment (U.S. Realm) adds further constraints to the constraints outlined for the Universal Realm to define a specific questionnaire commonly used in the United States. These constraints can also be applied to other assessment questionnaires used in the United States, such as the Outcome and ASsessment Information Set (OASIS).
  • Questionnaire Assessments are question-based instruments that have psychometric properties. Psychometric properties are elements that contribute to the statistical adequacy of an instrument in terms of reliability, validity, and internal consistency.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

Software systems developers and implementers,

  • Government agencies,
  • Health care facilities and providers,
  • Personal health care records.

Type

Informative

Releases

Release 1

Summary

A Diagnostic Imaging Report contains a consulting specialist’s interpretation of image data. It is intended to convey the interpretation to the referring (ordering) physician and become part of the patient’s medical record. The purpose of this Implementation Guide (IG) is to describe constraints on the CDA Header and Body elements for Diagnostic Imaging Reports. It is intended for use in Radiology, Endoscopy, Cardiology, and other imaging specialties.

This Guide describes how CDA is used to record information for a Diagnostic Imaging Report. Is consistent with the DICOM guide for transforming DICOM Structured Reports to CDA. The report may contain both narrative and coded data.

See http://www.healthstory.com/standards/sec/dir.htm

The implementation guide for this informative document was developed by DICOM, with support from the HL7 Imaging Integration Work Group and CDA4CDT. It is consistent with a companion guide for transforming DICOM Structured Reports to CDA Release 2 and is suitable for use with both structured and narrative data capture.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

  • Healthcare Providers,
  • Healthcare IT Vendors,
  • EHR Systems,
  • Transcription/Dictation Systems,
  • Departmental Systems
  • Imaging Information systems

Stakeholders include Medical imaging service providers, equipment vendors and information systems implementers. The audience for this document is software developers and consultants responsible for implementation of Radiology Information Systems, Radiology Reporting Systems, Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), other image and imaging management systems, and dictation/transcription and document management systems. A secondary audience is developers of specifications for health information networks, both governmental and non-governmental, who may specify use of this Implementation Guide for Diagnostic Imaging Reports. These systems are expected to transmit results of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems or health information exchange networks as CDA documents created according to this IG.

Benefits

Integrating narrative notes into the EHR is a key benefit as is the fact that it supports meaningful use with minimal change to current practice.

The Implementation Guide allows for creating Diagnostic Imaging Reports in HL7-based information systems and integrating DICOM SR based imaging results, since it is consistent with DICOM Supplement 135 "SR Diagnostic Imaging Report Transformation Guide".

Implementations/ Case Studies (Actual Users)

  • Health Story Proejct (formerly CDA for Common Document Types, or, CDA4CDT) founded by M*Modal,
  • the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA),

Releases

Release 1 (Informative) Release 2, DSTU ending November 2011

Summary

The Care Record Summary, issued in June 23, 2006, was the first balloted Implementation Guide for CDA R2. CRS covered CDA Levels 1, 2, however, did not specify Level 3 templates (CDA entries). CCD, meanwhile, developed a rich set of Level 3 templates, however, CCD is not a Discharge Summary and does not specify a hospital course. The purpose of this update will be to issue a Discharge Summary-specific CRS updated for compliance with the current approach to CDA templates in CCD and the HL7 Health Story implementation guides. The resulting specification will be consistent with IHE XDS-MS for Discharge Summary and HITSP C48 and will not introduce conflicting requirements.

Description

The HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Care Record Summary: Discharge Summary was supported by the Health Story Project (www.healthstory.com), a non profit industry collaborative working to integrate narrative notes and electronic medical records.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

Benefits

The specifcation provides disparate hospital systems a standard format to report back to a primary care provider or other parties interested in the patient's hospital care.

Common data elements found in multiple states’ reportable condition forms were compiled and standardized in a project initiated in 2007 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Public Health Informatics (NCPHI) and Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists’ (CSTE) Case Report Standardization Workgroup (CRSWg) and leveraged in this project by NCPHI. This CDA for PHCR Implementation Guide will allow healthcare facilities/providers to communicate these data elements to the state and local public health departments in CDA format, an interoperable, industry-standard format.


Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

  • Local and State Departments of Health
  • Provider: Healthcare Institutions (hospitals, long term care, home care, mental health)
  • Vendor: Health Care IT

Benefits

This CDA implementation guide will allow healthcare facilities/providers to communicate common data elements found in multiple states’ reportable condition forms to state and local public health departments in CDA format—an interoperable, industry-standard format.

Product Name - CDA R2 IG Neonatal Care Reports (NCR)

  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Neonatal Care Report (NCR) (US Realm)

Type

DSTU

Releases

Release 1

Summary

This project is intended to facilitate electronic extraction of a subset of the Children’s Hospitals Neonatal Consortium (CHNC) data set using a standard reporting specification in the form of a Neonatal Care Report (NCR) to support performance improvement and research. CHNC and CHCA, a business alliance of 43 leading children’s hospitals in North America, envision this effort as a building block for more widespread use of the electronic medical record in place of manual data abstraction..

Description

This implementation guide is a conformance profile, as described in the Refinement and Localization section of the HL7 Version 3 standards. The base standard for this implementation guide is the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2.0. As defined in that document, this implementation guide is both an annotation profile and a localization profile; it does not describe every aspect of CDA.

The CHNC core data set contains around 700 data elements; this Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) addresses a subset of approximately 60 data elements including 37 physiologic and laboratory elements for assessment of illness severity (Acuity indicator data generic organizer) and 21 base data elements found throughout the header and body of the NCR (e.g., name, medical record number, birth weight, and discharge head circumference). Some of the data elements included in the NCR are known to correspond to Vermont Oxford Network (VON); others correspond to data collection sets mapped to national standards such as the Continuity of Care Document (CCD) and the Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA). This effort with an initial portion of the data provides the opportunity to work with the data from the perspective of the underlying model and electronic format and to explore many design issues thoroughly. This initial step ensures that the data set developers and standards community can reach consensus prior to the larger time commitment that would be required to bring the full data set into standard format.

This project supports reusability and ease of data collection through a standard data representation harmonized with work developed through Health Information Technology Expert Panel (HITEP), balloted through Health Level Seven (HL7), and/or recognized by the Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP).

This implementation guide (IG) specifies a standard for electronic submission of NCRs in a Clinical Document Architecture (CDA), Release 2 (R2) format.


Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

The audience for this document includes software developers and implementers who wish to develop reporting capabilities within their electronic health record (EHR and Pediatric EHR systems), and developers and analysts in receiving institutions who wish to process CDA NCR documents created according to this specification. The intended audience also includes neonatal experts and other children’s hospital providers.

Benefits

Through the systematic collection and analyses of clinical data on infants admitted to children’s hospital NICUs, CHNC expects to spearhead benchmarking, quality improvement, and research initiatives that have not previously been possible in their patient population.

Product Name - CDA R2 IG Unstructured Documents

  • HL7 Implementation Guide for Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2: Unstructured Documents, (Universal Realm) Release 1

Type

DSTU balloted 2010Jan

Releases

Release 1

Summary

This Implementation Guide provides consistent guidance for sending/receiving unstructured clinical documents including images, scanned documents, faxed and word processor output. This Implementation Guide describes constraints on use of the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) header and body elements for an Unstructured Document.

In many environments much of the patient record is still captured in an unstructured format that is encapsulated within an image file, or as unstructured text in an electronic file such as a word processing or Portable Document Format (PDF) documents.

Description

This implementation guide is a conformance profile, as described in the Refinement and Localization section of the HL7 Version 3 standards. The base standard for this implementation guide is the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2.0. As defined in that document, this implementation guide is both an annotation profile and a localization profile. CDA R2 is not fully described in this guide, so implementers must be familiar with the requirements of the base specification. This guide addresses only Level 1 constraints because of the nature and purpose of this guide: additional levels of coding are not applicable since they require the use of a structuredBody, which this implementation guide prohibits.


The approach taken in the development of this specification was to review existing draft and final specifications or implementation guides for similar artifacts in the U.S.:

  • Clinical LOINC® document and section codes
  • Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) Constructs, including the Encounter Document Using IHE Medical Summary (XDS-MS) Component (C48)
  • HL7 Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2 Normative Web Edition, 2005
  • Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Profiles, including the content profiles within Patient Care Coordination (PCC) and specifically the IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework Volume 3 (ITI TF-3) Cross-Transaction Specifications and Content Specifications Revision 6.0. (See Relationship to IHE's XDS-SD on the relationship of this guide to XDS-SD.)
  • Non-CDA sample documents supplied by participating providers and vendors


This guide is not intended to be a replacement for IHE’s XDS-SD (Cross-Transaction Specifications and Content Specifications, Scanned Documents Module) profile. Rather, it serves a more generic use case. XDS-SD is specifically for scanned documents, and limits content to PDF-A or text. This Unstructured Documents implementation guide is applicable not only for scanned documents in non-PDF formats, but also for clinical documents produced through word processing applications, etc.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

Providers and Clinicians, Vendor: Health Care IT, Provider: Healthcare Institutions; EHR Vendors, PHR Vendors, Vendor: Dictation/Transcription Systems; Health Information Exchange networks


Benefits

In many environments much of the patient record is still captured in an unstructured format that is encapsulated within an image file or as unstructured text in an electronic file such as a word processing or Portable Document Format (PDF) documents.

There is a need to raise the level of interoperability for these documents to provide full access to the longitudinal patient record across a continuum of care. Until this gap is addressed, image and multi-media files will continue to be a portion of the patient record that remains difficult to access and share with all participants in a patient’s care. (See Relationship to IHE's XDS-SD on the relationship of this guide to IHE’s XDS-SD.)

Implementations/ Case Studies (Actual Users)

This Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) was produced and developed through the Health Story Project. The project was initiated by the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI), Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA), American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), and M*Modal and is being managed by Alschuler Associates, LLC and Optimal Accords, LLC.
