The HL7 Version 3 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA®) is a document markup standard that specifies the structure and semantics of 'clinical documents' for the purpose of exchange between healthcare providers and patients. It defines a clinical document as having the following six characteristics: 1) Persistence, 2) Stewardship, 3) Potential for authentication, 4) Context, 5) Wholeness and 6) Human readability. A CDA can contain any type of clinical content - typical CDA documents would be a discharge summary, imaging report, admission and physical record, and pathology report. The most popular use is for inter-enterprise information exchange. Release 2 is the previous version to Release 2.1.[LF21]
