CDA (Clinical Document Architecture)

CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) is a standardized format used by healthcare providers to create, share, and exchange electronic medical documents, like reports and summaries. It ensures that medical information is structured consistently, making it easier for different systems and providers to understand and use patient data securely and accurately. Think of it as a common language for electronic health records, promoting better communication, continuity of care, and data interoperability across healthcare environments.
