Consolidation Project Goals Update and harmonize C32 while addressing known issues (ambiguity, gaps, etc.) initially, those issues identified by ONC and required for Meaningful Use (open technical issues from HITSP, etc.) next, those reused in Health Story finally, if time allows, full set of CCD/C32 templates Proof of concept for model-driven, structured tools supporting easy to use developer documentation Rapid demonstration of templated CDA as a data element centric paradigm for health information exchange
