1、Designation:E236912An American National StandardStandard Specification forContinuity of Care Record(CCR)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2369;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revis
2、ion.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 The Continuity of Care Record(CCR)is a core data setof the most relevant administrative,demographic,and clinicalinformation facts abo
3、ut a patients healthcare,covering one ormore healthcare encounters.2It provides a means for onehealthcare practitioner,system,or setting to aggregate all of thepertinent data about a patient and forward it to anotherpractitioner,system,or setting to support the continuity of care.1.1.1 The CCR data
4、set includes a summary of the patientshealth status(for example,problems,medications,allergies)and basic information about insurance,advance directives,caredocumentation,and the patients care plan.It also includesidentifying information and the purpose of the CCR.(See 5.1for a description of the CCR
5、s components and sections,andAnnex A1 for the detailed data fields of the CCR.)1.1.2 The CCR may be prepared,displayed,and transmittedon paper or electronically,provided the information requiredby this specification is included.When prepared in a structuredelectronic format,strict adherence to an XM
6、L schema and anaccompanying implementation guide is required to supportstandards-compliant interoperability.The Adjunct3to thisspecification contains a W3C XML schema and Annex A2contains an Implementation Guide for such representation.1.2 The primary use case for the CCR is to provide asnapshotinti

8、sidered normative.41.3 To ensure interchangeability of electronic CCRs,thisspecification specifies XML coding that is required when theCCR is created in a structured electronic format.5This speci-fied XML coding provides flexibility that will allow users toprepare,transmit,and view the CCR in multip
9、le ways,forexample,in a browser,as an element in a Health Level 7(HL7)message or CDA compliant document,in a secure email,as aPDF file,as an HTML file,or as a word processing document.It will further permit users to display the fields of the CCR inmultiple formats.1.3.1 The CCR XMLschema or.xsd(see
10、theAdjunct to thisspecification)is defined as a data object that represents asnapshot of a patients relevant administrative,demographic,and clinical information at a specific moment in time.The CCRXML is not a persistent document,and it is not a messagingstandard.NOTE1The CCR XML schema can also be
11、used to define an XMLrepresentation for the CCR data elements,subject to the constraintsspecified in the accompanying Implementation Guide(see Annex A2).1.3.2 Using the required XML schema in theAdjunct to thisspecification or other XML schemas that may be authorizedthrough joints efforts of ASTM an
12、d other standards develop-ment organizations,properly designed electronic healthcarerecord(EHR)systems will be able to import and export allCCR data to enable automated healthcare information trans-mission with minimal workflow disruption for practitioners.Equally important,it will allow the interch
