CDA Release 2 and the CCD: Standards for the Meaningful Exchange of Health Information and Clinical Summaries

Health Level Seven® International (HL7®), the global authority for interoperability and standards in healthcare information technology with members in 55 countries, will present a complimentary Ambassador webinar on the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture Release 2.0 (CDA) and the Continuity of Care Document (CCD).

The CDA is designed to support the exchange of health information in clinical documentation and the CCD for creating clinical summaries. These specifications were recently named under the federal regulation in the United States to support meaningful use requirements and have also been selected for use in national and regional programs throughout the world. This webinar will explain how the CDA and CCD benefit patients and healthcare providers. It will also assist managers and decision makers involved in the acquisition or development of healthcare IT solutions to understand the business needs met by these HL7 standards.

Keith W. Boone, standards architect with GE Healthcare, co-chair of the HL7 Structured Documents Work Group, and HL7 ambassador will be presenting the webinar. Mr. Boone was involved in the development of CDA Release 2.0, and has been an editor of many CDA-based implementation guides developed by organizations including HL7, Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise and ANSI/HITSP, including the HL7 CCD and the ANSI/HITSP C32.

Date: September 14, 2010
Time: 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. CDT
