Clinical Summary

This data model provides a snapshot of the patient's chart at a moment in time.

A clinical summary is useful if you need a patient's clinical information, whether historical or current. Our data model is based on Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) formatted documents, which focuses on different aspects of the patient's chart (e.g., allergies, immunizations, medications). We map any CDA document type to this data model. The most common is the Continuity of Care Document (CCD).

It may take up to 15 seconds to receive a response from the EHR system when querying for a clinical summary, depending on how long it takes the EHR system to generate a CCD.

This data model has event types that allow you to:

• query for patient, visit, and document summaries;
• receive patient, visit, and document summaries;
• push patient or visit summaries; or
• query for and receive a specific document.
