Interview with Liora Alschuler (Alschuler Associates, co-chair of the HL7 Structured
document committee) about the readmap for the creation of new releases of CDA (CDA
R3) and CCD (CCD R2 - a universal version of the current US specific CCD R1 specification).
CCD as well as other future implementation guides will be defined as a collection
of templates. HL7 has started the process of collecting requirements for CDA R3 and
CCD R2. The initial version version of CDA R3 will be published in the fall of 2009.
