BACKGROUND
Through several years of the healthcare information exchange based on the HIE project, some problems were found in the CDA documents generated.
OBJECTIVE
To fix some problems, we developed the K-CDA Implementation Guide (K means S. Korea) that conforms to the HL7 CDA, and suits the domestic conditions regarding the healthcare information.
METHODS
We achieved by analyzing HIE guideline and the U.S. C-CDA, and comparing each item. The items that required further discussion were reviewed by the expert committee. Based on the reviews, the previously developed templates were revised.
RESULTS
A total of 35 CDA templates were developed: five document-level templates, fourteen section-level templates, and sixteen entry-level templates. The 28 value sets used in the templates have been improved and the OIDs for HIE have been redefined
CONCLUSIONS
The K-CDA IG allows management in the form of a template library based on the definition of the General K-Header and the structured templates. This enables the K-CDA IG to respond to the expansion of national HIE templates with flexibility. For the K-CDA IG, the CDA template in current use was incorporated to the greatest extent possible, to minimize the scope of modifications. It enables the national HIE and the HIE with countries abroad.
