Karsten There is another group, based out of Canada, that is working similarly to the CCR. The electronic medical summary (www.e-ms.ca) is an HL-7 CDA for transferring a limited data set between systems (Demographics, Problems, Med / Surg Hx, Medications, Allergies, Immunizations, labs, etc).
The specs include a document standard and a messaging standard and they are freely available online.
