Health Level Seven (HL7)
HL7 is an ANSI-accredited Standards Development Organization
Domain is clinical and administrative data Focus is the interchange of health care dataLevel 7 refers to the highest level,
applications, of the communications model for Open Systems Interconnection

HL7 and SGML/XML
Initial release of HL7 Version 3 slated for December 2001 will use only XML encoding
Two groups in HL7 SGML/XMLXML as an alternative syntax for messagesStructured Documents Technical Committee
An architecture for structured documents defines relationships between documents and document specifications in terms of specialization and inheritance – a Clinical Document Architecture

Clinical Document Architecture (CDA)
Kona Proposal drafted in 1996 (Kona Mansion)Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) is a
specification for exchanging clinical documents using eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
Leverages the use of XML, the HL7 Reference Information Model and coded vocabularies to specify the structure and semantics
Machine and Human-readable documentsApproved as an ANSI standard November 2000

A CDA Document
A CDA document is a defined and complete information object
Can exist outside of a messaging context and/or can be a payload within an HL7 message

Clinical Documents in QEII
Currently each page of paper chart reviewed to produce Discharge Summary and AbstractDemographic informationLength of StayDiagnoses and Procedures
Most of this information is produced by clinicians
Huge potential cost savings if the summary could be captured concurrent with care and used for discharge communication

Levels within the CDA
Level One is the root Most general specification (low-hanging fruit) Defined and complete information object – web
implementation of paper documents to startRIM classes are used in the CDA HeaderTerms from controlled vocabularies in body
Level Two will be a specialization of Level One Level Three: Clinical content can be marked up
to the extent that it is modeled in the HL7 RIM

Level One CDA Document
Composed of CDA Header and CDA Body
Purpose of the CDA Header is to enable clinical document exchange across and within institutions
Coded entries uses HL7 Version 3 Data Types

HL7 Version 3 Data Types
XML Element Names map to Data Types_cd vocabulary domain has coding strength
CNE coded, no extensionsCWE coded, with extensions (allows local codes)Make use of published authoritative sources of code values
_tmr document time stamp _id identifier_nbr number
Vocabulary domains may be HL7-defined concepts or recognized coding schemes such as SNOMED, READ, ICD10, Medcin

Level One: CDA Header
1. Document information includes <id>, <set id>, <version_nbr>, <document_type_cd>, <confidentiality_cd>, <document_relationship>
2. Encounter data describe the setting in which the documented encounter occurred and includes <patient_encounter>, <practice _setting_cd>, <encounter_tmr>, <service_location>, <addr>.
3. Provider includes the persons who participated in the services being documented
4. Patient includes the patient and other significant participants (such as family members)

Doctor Portal Implementation
The portal has three features:1. Ability to add, edit, find, and query discharge
summaries2. Ability to add, edit, find, and query referral forms3. Ability to list all discharges and referrals assigned
to a specific doctor Javascript and HTML implement the interface
and interact with the user as information is entered into the form

Database Platform
dbXML is an open source Native XML Database stores and indexes compressed XML documents in
order to provide that data to a client application with very little server-side processing overhead
provides functionality that is unique to XML data, which can't easily be reproduced by relational databases

Clinical/Administration Information Exchange
CDA is sufficient backbone for communication between Information Systems in Physician Offices and Hospital
Canadian hospitals abstract each patient record for Canadian Institute for Health Information
Information should support clinical, administration, education and research
