CCDA is used in Care Everywhere to share what type of data?

• A. Imaging data only
• B. Billing codes
• C. Appointment schedules
• D. Structured clinical documents for patient care exchange

Answer: (D)

The data shared through CCDA in Care Everywhere are structured clinical documents for patient care exchange. CCDA stands for Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture, and it provides a standardized, machine-readable patient summary that bundles essential clinical information—such as problems, medications, allergies, immunizations, labs, vital signs, and plan of care—into a single document. This enables receiving systems to populate and update a patient’s chart across organizations, supporting coordinated care. It’s not imaging data, which is usually shared separately (like DICOM references), nor billing codes or appointment schedules, which aren’t the primary content of CCDA exchanges.
