CDA File

The CDA file contains Clinical Data Attachment rules for the Translator Attachment Adapter to use when building the 275.

The CDA file is an HL7 XML file in CDA format created by the user. A sample CDA file is shipped with the Translator Attachment Adapter. The sample CDA file is based on "HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2: IHE Health Story Consolidation, Release 1.1 - US Realm" using proposed standards for 275 attachment and the Patient Information Unspecified Content (PIUC) format.

Here is an example of a CDA file.
