It is a tool designed to allow implementers to gain insight and information regarding industry best practice and usage overall. It also provides a rough quantitative assessment and highlights areas of improvement which can be made today to move the needle forward. <a href="https://github.com/siteadmin/site-content/raw/master/C-CDA-Scorecard-Rubrics.docx">The best practices and quantitative scoring criteria have been developed by HL7</a> through the HL7-ONC Cooperative agreement to improve the implementation of health care standards. We hope that providers and health IT developers will use the tool to identify and resolve issues of C-CDA document interoperability in their health IT systems.
