[news.eclipse.technology.ohf] Re: CDA CCD distinction

[Sarah Knoop <seknoop@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert,
A CCD document is still a conformant CDA document -- just with 
additional constraints. If one would want to distinguish between the two 
in an XDS environment, they'd use a format code. So far IHE has not 
exactly done so for CDA and CCD. They do have format codes for much of 
the PCC content profiles -- most of which are constrained forms of CDA.

more information on PCC be found here:
http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Frameworks#IHE_Patient_Care_Coordination_Technical_Framework

examples of format codes (we'll probably see these in 2009) can be found 
here:

hope this helps,
Sarah
