    Re: CCR to CCD Translation Service

    Rob,

    THANK YOU for your feedback in this extremely important topic.  It is very exciting to see hospitals such as the ones in your area, starting to accept patient-initiated exchanges (import/export) of electronic health records.

    Our CCD support complies (i.e. 'no errors') with the CDA R2 format rules, as tested using the NIST validation tool set: http://xreg2.nist.gov/cda-validation/validation.html.  This is also known as the HL7 CDA R2 (with no extensions) version, whereas the version you mentioned, includes HITSP/C83 Extensions.  You may want to inquire (we will also on our part) as to whether the RelayHealth tool supports using CDA without extensions - maybe there is a configuration setting for that.

    It is also interesting that the NIST validation tools support testing for HITSP C32 Versions 2.1, 2.4, and 2.5 - but not 2.3...  We will need to investigate whether independent verification for 2.3 will be possible.  Maybe RelayHealth should also consider upgrading their support to a version that is supported by NIST's suite (e.g. 2.4).

    We will look into upgrading our plug-in, and we would hope to perhaps continue to count on your feedback as to how the integration works with RelayHealth?

    Thank you again for your feedback,
    Support Team
