CCDA Record

The Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (CCDA) is an ANSI-certified standard from HL7 and is required for Meaningful Use Stage 2 certification. A CCDA document uses a specific syntax and framework as specified by HL7. It can contain numerous types of clinical contents and is in XML format (although it can contain a non-XML body as well). This feature will allow the user to view or update CCDA documents of a specific patient.

CCDA Upload
The PUT /patients/{patientid}/ccda call allows users to upload a CCDA for a patient into their chart in athenaNet. The CCDA must be in XML format.

The practice is required to manually reconcile new or modified chart information through the Reconciliation tab for data added by CCDA.

The following fields are required:
patientid  –  Patient ID
ccda  –  The full text of the CCDA in XML format   
departmentid  –  Department ID from which to retrieve the patient chart

Notes:  
•  Currently, patient data input by CCDA is matched to existing patients in the practice using the Enhanced Best Match logic.  
•  Lab and imaging results included in the CCDA are not added to the patient's chart.

practiceid integer practiceid
patientid integer patientid
format string There are two subtly different standards for the Transition of Care Ambulatory Summary -- A referral summary (called ambulatory summary here) and a data portability document. They contain the same data, but may have slightly different attributes. For backwards compatibility reasons, we allow both for ambulatory practices. For inpatient practices, this parameter is ignored and only the data portability format is used. In the future, both inpatient and ambulatory will use the data portability format by default. Currently, ambulatory summary is the default for ambulatory settings, but that will switch to data portability in the future, and eventually the ambulatory summary format will be removed, along with this parameter. Also, only with this parameter set to data portability can the startdate and enddate parameters be accepted.
enddate string For date filterable items, exclude data after this datetime. Format is MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MM:SS.
xmloutput boolean If set to true, use XML (not JSON) as output. Not needed if an Accept header with application/xml header is included in the request. If set to false, it will return the CCDA format (XML) wrapped in a JSON response.
purpose string The purpose of this request. The sections returned and required patient consent will depend on the purpose. For now we will only support 'internal', which means it's being requested on behalf of the practice.
departmentid integer The department from which to retrieve the patient's chart.
startdate string For date filterable items, exclude data before this datetime. Format is MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MM:SS.
THIRDPARTYUSERNAME string User name of the patient in the third party application.
PATIENTFACINGCALL boolean When 'true' is passed we will collect relevant data and store in our database.
