Chilmark Declares CCD Winner in Standards Battle
Written by: JohnSign up to receive all the latest EMR and EHR Updates.
I’ve been really interested in the various standards of interoperability in healthcare. I previously posted a bunch of random items related to CCR and CCD in healthcare. I remember when CCR first came out. It was a very exciting movement to try and make EMR software interoperable.
So, today I was really interested to read Chilmark essentially declaring CCD the winner in the EMR interoperability battle. Officially he says that CCD is gaining traction and CCR is fading, but if you read his post you’ll see that in his opinion (which I trust a lot) CCD will be the winner in the battle between CCR and CCD.
The cool part is that I don’t think those that helped develop CCR will mind at all. Partially because CCD is a derivative of CCR and CDA. Plus, from what I understand, the people behind CCR were mostly interested in facilitating the flow of healthcare information between EMR software. If that is achieved by CCD, then the goal was achieved.
I’ll be interested to hear what the chatter will be around CCD and CCR at HIMSS to see if Chilmark’s feelings are shared by others.

Somebody better break the news to Google Health team then. And since no one has even really defined what the minimum of an EHR is … well – gee wiz, we should probably do that before we even worry about what Schema we might use. I mean, the qualify as a valid XML file, CCD or CDA / CCD you do not need very much data. Name and a few other things.
Chilmark mentions that also. Google will definitely not be happy if this is indeed the case.
So, what came out of HIMSS?
CTS,
Good question. I’ve done a number of posts at the following 2 links:

I have a lot more in the hopper that I’ll be posting over the next 2 weeks.
