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 documents can be very large and lengthy, diminishing the need to provide the right amount of information needed to provide efficient 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 summarization of pertinent information. This will assist by NOT overwhelming the person viewing the rendered document.
