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 include a discharge summary, imaging report, admission and physical record, and pathology report. The most popular use is for inter-enterprise information exchange.
