HL7 Continuity of Care Document Quick Start Guide
June 12th, 2008 by Jon Mertz
HIMSS EHRVA developed a Quick Start Guide for implementing the Continuity of Care Document (CCD). HIMSS EHRVA is a trade association of Electronic Health Record (EHR) vendors. Included in the file are two sample CCDs. The guide seems to be a useful resource for implementers of integrated healthcare systems.
A few past posts and insights that you may want to explore:
- What is the CCD?
- EMR Interfacing Best Practices
- Get the Workflow Right First
- Comparing HL7 Messages to HL7 Documents
Please post any experiences that you have in implementing the CCD or using this Quick Start Guide.
