CDA Document Summary Sections Profile
The CDA Document Summary Sections (CDA-DSS) Profile provides various types of CDA section templates that can summarize content in the CDA document or add summary content to a CDA document that is not already included in the document.
Summary
The CDA document summary sections can be created by summarizing pertinent information. The data that goes in the summary sections can be user defined or can be based on specified use cases provided by the profile. The CDA document summary sections can be rendered for viewing. Content in some CDA document summary sections can be imported when possible (i.e.contains discrete entries) by the consuming system if desired.
- A received CDA document can be rendered showing sections summarizing information defined by the user. Note the receiver does not alter the received CDA document.
- A received CDA document can be rendered showing sections summarizing information defined by the CDA-DSS profile. Note the receiver does not alter the received CDA document.
- A CDA document can be created to include sections summarizing information defined by the user.
- A CDA document can be created to include sections summarizing information defined by use cases provided by the CDA-DSS profile.
Benefits
CDA document can be very large and lengthy diminishing the need to provide the right amount of information needed to provide patient care. The CDA-DSS profile enables the ability to provide relevant and pertinent information in a CDA document by leveraging concise summary information. The information is provided in document summary sections supporting specific purposes that the document receiver and sender specifies. This allows large amounts of information in a CDA document to be provided along with summaries of pertinent information. This will assist with NOT overwhelming the person viewing the rendered document.
Details
The CDA-DSS profile enables the ability to provide relevant and pertinent information in CDA document sections that are concise, supporting specific purposes that the CDA docuement creator and receiver specifies. This allows the large amount of information in a CDA document to be provided yet at the same time not become overwhelming for the person viewing the rendered document.
A CDA document summary section can be constructed dynamically, or a pre-defined section template can be used.
A CDA document summary section can be pre-defined section templates
- CDA document summary sections can be based on specific use cases. A specified CDA document summary section can be added to any open template CDA document. The CDA-DSS profile includes some use case driven summary section templates.
- The CDA document creator (the machine) can create summary sections in a CDA document based on existing data in the document. The CDA document creator may be the system that created the original document or may be a system that imports a CDA document, generates the summary sections and generates a new CDA document with those changes. This approach can also use pre-defined templates in the software of the Content Creator.
- A document author (the human) is creating a new CDA or reviewing an existing CDA. The human enters new data that the Content Creator uses to make one or more summary sections. This new data is not extracted from the existing document data. It is the responsibility of the document author to ensure that the new summary sections are consistent with the clinical content of the remainder of the document.
A CDA document summary section can be constructed dynamically
- The CDA document consumer (the machine) is rendering a document for a human to review. The CDA document consumer (the machine) can extract data from the document and render a summary view for the human. The The CDA document consumer (the machine) does not alter the original document.
