Clinical Document Architecture with Australian Schema - Local Development build (v1.0.1) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

Logical Model: ClinicalDocument (CDA Class)

Official URL: http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/StructureDefinition/ClinicalDocument Version: 1.0.1
Active as of 2025-10-10 Maturity Level: 1 Responsible: HL7 Computable Name: ClinicalDocument

This is a generated StructureDefinition that describes CDA - that is, CDA as it actually is for R2. The intent of this StructureDefinition is to enable CDA to be a FHIR resource. That enables the FHIR infrastructure - API, conformance, query - to be used directly against CDA
