HL7 CDA (Clinical Document Architecture)

HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) is a standard format for organizing and sharing medical records electronically. It provides a structured way for healthcare providers to create, exchange, and interpret clinical documents like patient summaries, reports, and discharge notes. Using consistent formats and terminology, CDA ensures that important health information remains accurate, complete, and understandable across different systems and organizations. This promotes better coordination of care, improved decision-making, and more efficient communication in healthcare environments.
