Defines the basic properties of every data value. This is an abstract type, meaning that no value can be just a data value without belonging to any concrete type. Every concrete type is a specialization of this general abstract DataValue type.

If a value is an exceptional value (NULL-value), this specifies in what way and why proper information is missing.

When valued in an instance, this attribute signals the imposition of realm-specific constraints. The value of this attribute identifies the realm in question

ClinicalDocument.typeId is a technology-neutral explicit reference to this CDA, Release Two specification, and must be valued as follows: ClinicalDocument.typeId.root = "2.16.840.1.113883.1.3" (which is the OID for HL7 Registered models); ClinicalDocument.typeId.extension = "POCD_HD000040" (which is the unique identifier for the CDA, Release Two Hierarchical Description).

A human readable name or mnemonic for the assigning authority. The Assigning Authority Name has no computational value. The purpose of a Assigning Authority Name is to assist an unaided human interpreter of an II value to interpret the authority. Note: no automated processing must depend on the assigning authority name to be present in any form.

Specifies if the identifier is intended for human display and data entry (displayable = true) as opposed to pure machine interoperation (displayable = false).

Represents the unique instance identifier of a clinical document.

The code specifying the particular kind of document (e.g. History and Physical, Discharge Summary, Progress Note).

If a value is an exceptional value (NULL-value), this specifies in what way and why proper information is missing.

The plain code symbol defined by the code system. For example, "784.0" is the code symbol of the ICD-9 code "784.0" for headache.

Specifies the code system that defines the code.

The common name of the coding system.

If applicable, a version descriptor defined specifically for the given code system.

A name or title for the code, under which the sending system shows the code value to its users.

The valueSet extension adds an attribute for elements with a CD dataType which indicates the particular value set constraining the coded concept.

The valueSetVersion extension adds an attribute for elements with a CD dataType which indicates the version of the particular value set constraining the coded concept.

The text or phrase used as the basis for the coding.

Specifies additional codes that increase the specificity of the the primary code.

A set of other concept descriptors that translate this concept descriptor into other code systems.

It's commonly the case that clinical documents do not have a title, and are collectively referred to by the display name of ClinicalDocument.code (e.g. a 'consultation' or 'progress note'). Where these display names are rendered to the clinician, or where the document has a unique title, the ClinicalDocument.title component should be used.

The statusCode extension attribute allows the implementer to identify a ClinicalDocument that is in other than the completed state. It was created to support the Structured Form Definition IG to identify that the document itself is an unfinished product currently being completed for a patient.

Signifies the document creation time, when the document first came into being.

Where the CDA document is a transform from an original document in some other format, the ClinicalDocument.effectiveTime is the time the original document is created. The time when the transform occurred is not currently represented in CDA.

Confidentiality is a required contextual component of CDA, where the value expressed in the header holds true for the entire document, unless overridden by a nested value.

Specifies the human language of character data (whether they be in contents or attribute values).

Language is a contextual component of CDA, where the value expressed in the header holds true for the entire document, unless overridden by a nested value.

Represents the time a document is released (i.e. copied or sent to a display device) from a document management system that maintains revision control over the document. Once valued, it cannot be changed. The intent is to give the viewer of the document some notion as to how long the document has been out of the safe context of its document management system.

Included for backwards compatibility with CDA, Release One. ClinicalDocument.copyTime has been deprecated because it is not part of the document at the time it is authenticated, but instead represents metadata about the document, applied at some variable time after authentication. Further use is discouraged.

A clinical document typically has exactly one recordTarget participant. In the uncommon case where a clinical document (such as a group encounter note) is placed into more than one patient chart, more than one recordTarget participants can be stated.

The recordTarget(s) of a document are stated in the header and propagate to nested content, where they cannot be overridden.

In some cases, the role or function of the author is inherent in the ClinicalDocument.code, such as where ClinicalDocument.code is 'Medical Student Progress Note'. The role of the author can also be recorded in the Author.functionCode or AssignedAuthor.code attribute. If either of these attributes is included, they should be equivalent to or further specialize the role inherent in the ClinicalDocument.code (such as where the ClinicalDocument.code is simply 'Physician Progress Note' and the value of Author.functionCode is 'rounding physician'), and shall not conflict with the role inherent in the ClinicalDocument.code, as such a conflict would constitute an ambiguous situation.

An informant (or source of information) is a person that provides relevant information, such as the parent of a comatose patient who describes the patient's behavior prior to the onset of coma.

Represents the organization that is in charge of maintaining the document. The custodian is the steward that is entrusted with the care of the document. Every CDA document has exactly one custodian.

The custodian participation satisfies the CDA definition of Stewardship. Because CDA is an exchange standard and may not represent the original form of the authenticated document, the custodian represents the steward of the original source document.

The information recipient is an entity to whom a copy of a document is directed, at the time of document authorship. It is not the same as the cumulative set of persons to whom the document has subsequently been disclosed, over the life-time of the patient. Such a disclosure list would not be contained within the document, and it outside the scope of CDA.

The CDA is a standard that specifies the structure of exchanged clinical documents. In the case where a local document is transformed into a CDA document for exchange, authentication occurs on the local document, and that fact is reflected in the exchanged CDA document. A CDA document can reflect the unauthenticated, authenticated, or legally authenticated state. The unauthenticated state exists when no authentication information has been recorded (i.e., it is the absence of being either authenticated or legally authenticated).

While electronic signatures are not captured in a CDA document, both authentication and legal authentication require that a document has been signed manually or electronically by the responsible individual. A legalAuthenticator has a required legalAuthenticator.time indicating the time of authentication, and a required legalAuthenticator.signatureCode, indicating that a signature has been obtained and is on file.

Represents a participant who has attested to the accuracy of the document, but who does not have privileges to legally authenticate the document. An example would be a resident physician who sees a patient and dictates a note, then later signs it.

A clinical document can have zero to many authenticators. While electronic signatures are not captured in a CDA document, both authentication and legal authentication require that a document has been signed manually or electronically by the responsible individual. An authenticator has a required authenticator.time indicating the time of authentication, and a required authenticator.signatureCode, indicating that a signature has been obtained and is on file.

A quantity specifying a point on the axis of natural time. A point in time is most often represented as a calendar expression.

A code specifying whether the set component is included (union) or excluded (set-difference) from the set, or other set operations with the current set component and the set as constructed from the representation stream up to the current point.

This is the low limit of the interval.

The arithmetic mean of the interval (low plus high divided by 2). The purpose of distinguishing the center as a semantic property is for conversions of intervals from and to point values.

The difference between high and low boundary. The purpose of distinguishing a width property is to handle all cases of incomplete information symmetrically. In any interval representation only two of the three properties high, low, and width need to be stated and the third can be derived.

This is the high limit of the interval.
