TL;DR: The CDA R2 model is richly expressive, enabling the formal representation of clinical statements such that they can be interpreted and acted upon by a computer, and offers a low bar for adoption.

TL;DR: The approach and objectives of the HL7 CDA are presented, along with a technical overview of the standard, which is a document markup standard that specifies the structure and semantics of clinical documents.

TL;DR: Eleven specific areas that represent relevant barriers to the interoperability of C-CDA documents are identified and point to several practical opportunities to improve C- CDA document quality and exchange in the coming years.

TL;DR: The objective in this paper is to take a step back, and consider what semantic interoperability means, assess whether or not it has been achieved, and, if not, determine what concrete next steps can be taken to get closer.

TL;DR: The Convergent Medical Terminology (CMT) as discussed by the authors is a core KP asset, serving as the common terminology across all applications, providing a consistent structure and access method to all codes used by the organization, and is KP's language of interoperability.
