Every ONC-certified EHR must support Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA®). C-CDA is a document standard for communicating patient summaries between providers and patients. It is a foundational component for US Meaningful Use (MU) Stage 3 and Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) interoperability.
This tutorial provides a detailed background on the specification, explains how C-CDA builds on CDA to provide highly structured patient summaries and discusses implementation challenges and choices. The purpose of this tutorial is to prepare the student to work with C-CDAs in the field to improve healthcare interoperability.

• Payers interested in visit summaries
• Providers implementing and supporting C-CDA based health information exchange and patient engagement interoperability functionality
