I just remembered, CCR is Continuity of Care Record (I hope I am right this time). I just talked with Mike Ginsburg who does not know the specifices of what they will be doing for this, but fully expects that either CCR or something else will need to be implemented as it is clear that sharing information is a priority now.

(was)RE: [Hardhats-members] How to accessScreenMan Because of my work on the pedi project, I have been hearing about things that may be helpful here and should soon have an opportunity to ask the VistA-Office project manager if what I am about to tell you is correct. The CCR or Core Clinical Record (I think) is virtually certain to be a feature and should be a standard by the time VistA-Office is released. It is specifically designed to be something that can be exported and sent elsewhere, using predefined data elements that will need to be populated by the contents of the medical record and will likely use XML fields for each of those data elements as at least one way for moving the record from place to place. I think I heard there are something in the neighborhood of 40+ elements and subelements (if that is the term) beyond that, or whatever they are called, and is quite comprehensive, even including immunizations as well as the usual history family history, social history, meds, problem list, etc. I also fully expect that VistA from the VA will have the same thing shortly after the standard is agreed upon and makes it through the balloting process. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bill Walton Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 1:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: To GUI or not to GUI?

I think I understand the issues. But, at least according to their web site, the HL7 CDA was approved as an ANSI standard in 2000. It's true that the CDA isn't inclusive of everything that needs to be in an EMR. It's also obvious that whatever emerges as "the" EMR definition will include what's in today's CDA. But perhaps I should have asked the question differently. So I'll ask again. Does anyone know if *any* export capability is something that the VistA Office EHR project is working on? But you're retitling of this thread raises a new question, at least for me. What do you see my question having to do with GUI's?
