Consolidated CDA, HL7 standard other than CCD
At the heart of the Consolidated CDA solution is a library of reusable CDA templates. As defined by Dr. Bob Dolin during his presentation on Consolidated CDA at the HL7 booth during HIMSS12, templates are critical to CDA for the following reasons:
- Templates lead to streamlined development by providing reusable building blocks.
- Templates provide quicker implementation because users can implement once, and deploy often.
- Since they are modular, templates (such as blood pressure, discharge diagnosis) can be repackaged with other templates in any number of CDA implementation guides.
- Templates provide for “incremental interoperability,” in that one can begin with simple CDA, and then add templates as they are prioritized.
