HL7 CDA R2 Orthodontic Attachment Implementation Guide, Release 1 - US Realm

Description

Create an Orthodontic Attachment Implementation Guide based on C-CDA R2.1 and prior content in the Periodontal Attachment IG STU. This guide is to convey information about substantiating claims for orthodontic related services. The items defined for electronic supporting documentation were developed by the Standards Committee on Dental Informatics of the American Dental Association standard 1079. This guide will include template definitions for both a Structured Orthodontic Attachment (with coded content) and an Unstructured Orthodontic Attachment (with a structured header, but unstructured content).

Misc Notes
2022 February: TSC approved STU Extension Request for HL7 CDA R2 Implementation Guide: Orthodontic Attachment, Release 1 - US Realm for two years 2020 March: TSC approved STU Publication Request for HL7 CDA R2 Implementation Guide: Orthodontic Attachment thru March 10, 2022 This standard will add to and may replace content in the HL7 CDA R2 Periodontal Attachment Implementation Guide: Exchange of C-CDA Based Documents, Release 1 - US Realm; published on July 20, 2017. Careful coordination with the ADA – we will likely need a letter from them allowing us to publish value sets comprised of SNODENT codes within the guide.
