What is CDA?

CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) is a standard from Health Level Seven International (HL7) that specifies an XML-based markup standard for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic clinical documents. CDA documents are human-readable and machine-processable, facilitating interoperability between healthcare systems. They are commonly used for representing documents such as discharge summaries, progress notes, and lab reports. CDA documents are often rendered for human consumption using stylesheets.
