MEDICATIONS
For all Medication examples the example task force agreed (8/28/2014) to only include institutionSpecified on the effectiveTime when the value is true. InstitutionSpecified indicates whether the exact timing is up to the party executing the schedule (e.g., to distinguish "every 8 hours" (false) from "3 times a day" (true)).
The SDWG discussed medication frequencies in great detail and developed the following summary - Reviewed and approved 9/17 at Chicago WG - Medication Frequencies

- Instructions; similar to above but NOT a PRN - Ibuprofen 600mg Oral Tablet, 1 tablet Every 6 Hours as Directed
- Indication; again, NOT a PRN - Ibuprofen 600mg Oral Tablet, 1 tablet Every 6 Hours for joint pain

- Validation location: NIST TTT Message Validator for VDT Ambulatory validated February 12, 2014
- Keywords: Pre-coordinated medication code, dose frequency, tapered dose, loading dose
- Comments: This is an example of a common pattern for antibiotic administration which is complex (double dose on day 1, commonly known as Z-PAK). SDWG reviewed this example with the Pharmacy working group in February 2014. This dosing regimen may be characterized as a loading dose, but a similar approach could be used for a tapered dose as well. At the May 2014 Working Group the committee discussed whether this example would be better with just a free text sig. The committee could not agree on the most appropriate location for the free text so this issue remains open. Use this example with caution until a free text sig is available and included.

- Comments: Patients often report medications that they are taking, either self-prescribed or by another provider, and know the drug name but do not know any specific brand or dose. This is an example of how to record an herbal supplement (echinicea) that a patient has reported taking using the informant to denote that this is patient reported.

- Comments: This is an example of how to encode "less than" a specific range when returned from lab equipment. The example is for BNP, an immunoassay where the lower threshold for detection is often 5 pg/mL. The lower bound of the interval is zero in this example, even though this is none may be specified, since zero is the lower bound for measures of physical quantity. This example also includes a structured reference range.

The example is for a point-of-care glucometer, which measures blood sugar for diabetics. Often these devices may have an upper bound, 500 mg/dL is shown in this example. The upper bound of the interval is positive infinity in this example. This example also includes two structured reference ranges for normal and high.

- Comments: This is an example of how to encode positive and negative, which are common data types returned form lab equipment. While some technologies may represent this as a type of ST (string), it is logical and easily possible to encode this information using SNOMED-CT. This would allow structured examination of this information downstream as well as comparison to a structured reference range, as shown in the example.

- Validation location: NIST TTT VDT Ambulatory validated June 11, 2014
- Comments: This is an example of unknown smoking status. There is a major variation in how no information is managed for smoking status. C-CDA 1.1 explicitly guides to not utilize a nullFlavor for this information. Instead a SNOMED code should be used as demonstrated in the example. A best practice to avoid confusion is for each social history section to only include a single smoking status.

There is a variation in how effectiveTime/high is used since this represents when the patient stopped smoking, not when they stopped being a former smoker.

This SNOMED code in the accompanying observation is not acceptable since smoking status, which is constrained by HL7 and Meaningful Use value set requirements. A best practice to avoid confusion is for each social history section to only include a single smoking status.

How to Setup an XML example from GitHub
- Sign up for GitHub account. It's free and quick
- Once you've got an account, you will be able to fork repositories and comment on examples through the website
- To post and manage examples, you will likely want to install a graphical user interface for GitHub. Here's where you can download: For Windows or For Mac
- Once you've got the application installed, there are a few steps:
- Click the "create" button to make a repository where you would like to upload/update to GitHub
- Once you've created, the repository will exist online and on your local machine
- On your local machine, place in new or revised files in the local folder (this will generally be under Documents/GitHub). It's good practice to include a text file named README.md, which appears online when people browse your repository. This is a good place to explain what you're working on.
- Once you've made the edits (or new files) you want to post to GitHub, "commit" the sample entering a description and then hit the "sync" button to upload
- At this point the changes and new files are posted online publicly
- For an example GitHub repository with C-CDA samples, check out this one from Children's Hospital Boston
- Add instructions for how to upload examples (to github, to other sites)
- Add examples (to site of your choosing)
- Add link and metadata too

HOW TO PREPARE A SAMPLE FOR APPROVAL BY SDWG
Observing these guidelines will streamline the process for all involved.
- Include XML comments that will:
- Make assumptions explicit
- Annotate each lines
- Highlight choices and key decisions that were made
- Confirm statusCode/moodCode/effectiveTime are in agreement
- Snippet should be in the context of a section
- Confirm narrative to match entries - and content is linked
- Does final sample name accurately reflect the final sample
- Add disclaimer at the top of every sample: SAMPLE DEVELOPED BY HL7 SDWG SAMPLES TASK FORCE - PLEASE SEE http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=CDA_Example_Task_Force FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS
