Current Project Work

Templates DSTU Release 2 incl Templates Interchange Format (January 2014 Ballot)

Templates DSTU Release 2 at Project Insight # 1043

The existing Templates DSTU R1 needs to be revised to reflect the lessons learned from current approaches to defining and implementing templates. An opportunity exists to align approaches and identify information needed to be able to communicate templates from one application to another. At a minimum, the DSTU needs to provide guidance to designing, implementing and validating templates and the specification of a workable template interchange format with a focus on CDA and V3 messages.
