CCDA & CCDA on FHIR 2021, Au 3-5

Description
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.
C-CDA on FHIR is an HL7 implementation guide that expresses the core C-CDA use case using HL7® FHIR® resources.

This online class 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. It will also give an overview of FHIR documents in general, the C-CDA on FHIR profiles in particular and discuss migration strategies when moving from CDA to FHIR and vice-versa.
