Medical Documents Specification 1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.1.1

This section defines the base set of constraints used by almost all medical document profiles described the PCC Technical Framework.

Standards

CDAR2	HL7 CDA Release 2.0
CRS	HL7 Care Record Summary
XMLXSL	Associating Style Sheets with XML documents

Conformance

CDA Release 2.0 documents that conform to the requirements of this content module shall indicate their conformance by the inclusion of the appropriate <templateId> elements in the header of the document. This is shown in the sample document below.

Sample Medical Documents Document

<ClinicalDocument xmlns='urn:hl7-org:v3'> <typeId extension="POCD_HD000040" root="2.16.840.1.113883.1.3"/> <templateId root='1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.1.1'/> <id root=' ' extension=' '/> <code code=' ' displayName=' ' codeSystem='2.16.840.1.113883.6.1' codeSystemName='LOINC'/> <title>Medical Documents</title> <effectiveTime value='20240419012005'/> <confidentialityCode code='N' displayName='Normal' codeSystem='2.16.840.1.113883.5.25' codeSystemName='Confidentiality' /> <languageCode code='en-US'/> : <component><structuredBody>     </structuredBody></component> </ClinicalDocument>

 

   <!-- Verify the document type code -->
   <assert test='cda:code[@code = "{{{LOINC}}}"]'>
     Error: The document type code of a Medical Documents must be {{{LOINC}}}
   </assert>
   <assert test='cda:code[@codeSystem = "2.16.840.1.113883.6.1"]'>
     Error: The document type code must come from the LOINC code 
     system (2.16.840.1.113883.6.1).
   </assert>

Specification

The constraints for encoding of the CDA Header (Level 1), and codes for sections within the section body follow all Level 1 constraints found in the HL7 Care Record Summary Implementation Guide, with the exception that the constraints on the type of document and its narrative content are not adopted by this content profile.

Style Sheets

Document sources should provide an XML style sheet to render the content of the Medical Summary document. The output of this style sheet shall be an XHTML Basic (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/) document that renders the clinical content of a Medical Summary Document as closely as possible as the sending provider viewed the completed document. When a style sheet is provided, at least one processing instruction must be included in the document that including a link to the URL for the XML style sheet. To ensure that the style sheet is available to all receivers, more than one stylesheet link may be included.

When a stylesheet is used within an XDS Affinity domain, the link to it shall be provided using an HTTPS or HTTP URL.

<?xml-stylesheet href='https://foobar:8080/mystylesheet.xsl' type='text/xsl'?>

When using XDM or XDR to exchange documents, the stylesheet must also be exchanged on the media. The link to the stylesheet shall be recorded as a relative URL.

<?xml-stylesheet href='../../stylesheets/mystylesheet.xsl' type='text/xsl'?>

Style sheets should not rely on graphic or other media resources. If graphics other media resources are used, these shall be accessible in the same way as the stylesheet. The Content Creator need not be the provider of the resources (stylesheet or graphcs).

When a Content Creator provides a style sheet, Content Consumers must provide a mechanism to render the document with that style sheet. Content Consumers may view the document with their own style sheet.

To record the stylesheet within a CDA Document that might be used in both an XDS and XDM environment, more than one stylesheet processing instruction is required. In this case, all style sheet processing instructions included must include the alternate='yes' attribute.

<?xml-stylesheet href='https://foobar:8080/mystylesheet.xsl' type='text/xsl' alternate='yes'?>
<?xml-stylesheet href='../../stylesheets/mystylesheet.xsl' type='text/xsl' alternate='yes'?>

A Content Consumer that is attempting to render a document using the document supplied stylesheet need only use the first style sheet processing instruction for which it is able to obtain the style sheet content, and shall not report any errors if it is able to find at least one stylesheet to render with.

Distinctions of None

Information that is sent must clearly identify distinctions between

None

It is known with complete confidence that there are none. Used in the context of problem and medication lists, this indicates that the sender knows that there is no relevant information that can be sent.

None Known

None are known at this time, but it is not known with complete confidence than none exist. Used in the context of allergy lists, where essentially, it is impossible to prove the negative that no allergies exist, it is only possible to assert that none have been found to date.

None Known Did Ask (NKDA)

None are known at this time, and it is not known with complete confidence than none exist, but the information was requested. Also used in the context of allergy lists, where essentially, it is impossible to prove the negative that no allergies exist, it is only possible to assert that none have been found to date.

Unknown

The information is not known, or is otherwise unavailable.

In the context of CDA, sections that are required to be present but have no information should use one of the above phrases where appropriate.
