Issue

Users of HL7 V3 standards have to decide between document and message models, and transforming from one to the other increases the barrier to entry for use of HL7 V3. The HL7 Care Record DSTU has a clinical statement model built from the Clinical Statement Model that is used in the Care Record messages. This model is very nearly identical to the CDA Clinical Statement model. To facilitate reuse of software tools used to communicate between different system, it would be ideal if the XML was identical.

Recommendation

• Use the "Care Statement" local C-MET defined in Care Record in CDA Release 3.0.

Rationale

Use of the same models will generate identical XML, which will increase the potential for reuse across HL7 Version 3 standards.
