The Attachments implementation guide is based on CDA Release 2.0 Consolidated CDA Templates built upon HL7 version 3 messaging. This guide includes Document types such as, but not limited to, Continuity of Care; History and Physical; Operative Report; Progress Notes; Diagnostic and Imaging Reports; Discharge Summary; Consultation Notes; Procedure Notes; Care Plan; Periodontal and Unstructured Documents.
Since its inception in 1997, the work group has created and balloted implementation guide and attachment specifications built upon HL7 version 2.x messaging and upon the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) standards. The initial attachment standard included an implementation guide and detailed specifications for six attachment types:  Ambulance Service, Rehabilitation Services, Clinical Reports, Laboratory Results, Medication and Emergency Department.  These were incorporated into a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) under HIPAA in 2005 which was subsequently withdrawn in 2008. Other Non-HIPAA attachment offerings included but were not limited to, Patient Information Unspecified Content (PIUC), Children's Preventive Health Services, Periodontal, and Pre-Authorization/Referrals.

With passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 and Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) which required the Health and Human Services Secretary to establish a health claims transaction standard by January 1, 2014, the Attachment Work Group voted to align and harmonize the attachment standard based on the supposition that meaningful use and electronic medical health records may drive providers and payers to request increased access to codified clinical data.  In 2011 the work group formally decided to move from the original six specifications and adopted the implementation guide for CDA Release 2.0 Consolidated CDA Templates built upon HL7 version 3 messaging. This guide provides nine attachment types: Continuity of Care, History and Physical, Operative Report, Progress Notes, Diagnostic and Imaging Reports, Discharge Summary, Consultation Notes, Procedure Notes and Unstructured Documents.
