    • Allergy to specific substance (cat hair)
  • C-CDA 2.0 Example: none yet posted
  • Known bad example?: Valid example with one error for act/code (based on DSTU 219 and C-CDA IG 2.0 clarification) and warning since severity only nested within reaction
  • Reference to full CDA sample: Allergies in empty CCD
  • Custodian: John D'Amore jdamore@diameterhealth.com (GitHub: jddamore)
  • Validation location: TTT Validator
  • Comments: This is an example of an allergy to a specific substance (cat hair) using UNII as terminology with information on both allergic reaction and reaction severity. See DSTU 219 for update regarding act/code

  • Validation location: NIST TTT Message Validator for VDT Ambulatory validated February 12, 2014
  • Keywords: Dose frequency, pre-coordinated medication
  • Comments: This is an example of a medication (Sudafed) which to be administered every 4-6 hours, a common dosing pattern. Representing the range of potential of hours is done through a low and high child element of the period within effectiveTime of PIVL_TS.


Patient Prescribed Oral Antibiotic with Dosing Regimen that Varies Over Prescription Course (Loading or Tapered)

  • Approved by: Task force on 3/6. Approved by SDWG on 4/10/2014.

  • Custodian: John D'Amore, jdamore@diameterhealth.com (GitHub: jddamore)
  • 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). There was SDWG discussion of an appropriate means to structure this information 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.


Patient prescribed basal insulin administered at bedtime


Single Administration of Medication (at Single Point in Time)

    • Approved by: Task force on 3/13. Approved by SDWG on 4/10/2014.

  • Validation location: This timing information will not currently validate since it does not use IVL_TS type.
  • Keywords: Pre-coordinated medication code, single administration, point in time
  • Comments: This is an example of two baby aspirin being administered at a single point in time. At the January 2014 San Antonio meeting of HL7, this approach was decided as appropriate for medication timing of a point in time. This will not currently validate, but C-CDA 1.1 DSTU 423 states that changes will be made to accommodate value within time effectiveTime element (not just low/high children).

  • 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.

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.

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
  • enumerated lists
    • validators
    • approving bodies

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
  • Copy and paste the template below, and complete for your sample
