Discussion Points

• Reviewed the Wiki
  • Outstanding bugs folded into the CDA R2.0 style sheet and incorporated into new CDA R2.1 stylesheet
  • Added 2.1 updates
    • Internationalization was added, external links are now available. Label text calls out to a language file that is separate from the stylesheet.
    • Applied changes to address new stuff, using the spreadsheet of release notes for CDA R2.1
  • Single style sheet will work with both CDA R2.0 and CDA R2.1
  • Thom asked about covering all ballot comment revisions and Alex confirmed they are all addressed
  • Alex reviewed the website where the stylesheet work is being developed.
    • He showed the set of example files from multiple Realms
    • These samples pull the stated language, or assumes US English as the default (same for labels)
    • If you specify a new key and don't add it to the language file, it will show the key.
  • Reviewed header treatment
  • Reviewed subsections
  • Thom asked if we could be specific in the TOC to show if a section has no information (section tag carries a nullFlavor="NI")
  • George asked if the subsections could be revealed only when on the higher level section - accordion style
  • Sean, is it 508 Compliant?
  • Lisa asked if the color selection could be implemented in a way that was more easily editable.
  • The group debated the use of CSS
    • Maybe we should try to keep this as simple as possible.
    • Thom, maybe we should offer guidance on how to
  • Reviewed some other Realm rendering looks.
    • We looked at one in Black and grays - which sample
    • We may want to borrow the color scheme in black and gray
    • We may want to consider using the stationary header
    • Also looked at nictiz.nl.CDA
  • We discussed having a different version for printing. Alex already created a different printing format with much less color.
    • George mentioned the state of new york requires a large font size for the print format - how would we
  • How to include a graph as base-64? calling an image
    • How could you create a graph in the file automatically?
    • You can create svg on the fly to draw something on the fly (Alex knows how to do this--but it is beyong creating stylesheets.
  • The style sheet supports the document using links that are:
    • relative to something outside the document
    • internal to the document
    • to something fixed
  • We need a "top" button to always take you back to the top. (This may not be needed if the TOC stays visible.)
    • Emma asked if the style sheet could be switched
    • The job of this stylesheet is only to provide a complete rendering option for the CDA file outside of the context of an EHR system.

Action Items

• Lisa will send Alex a sample document with a nullFlavored section
• Sean will see if there are any color recommendations or if the see any other issues.
• Lisa will create some file coloring recommendations and review those with SDWG for more input.
• Sean will use some of Alex's samples to confirm if there are any 508 compliance issues
• Alex will make some additional revisions:
  • New way to handle color and a new gray-scale scheme implemented
  • Stationary slim header at top, maybe adding a back to top button
  • Consider if there is a way to do Large Font printing
  • See if the TOC could address sub-sections with an "accordion approach" that displays upon hover of the higher-level section

Next Meeting

• The next meeting will be scheduled once we have progress to report on the action items taken in this meeting
