Background
The CDA on FHIR England (COFE) End of Life (EOL) Care Document project aims to provide a viable alternative to HL7 v3 CDA for the transfer of end of life records between GP Systems/ Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination Systems (known as EPaCCS) and other healthcare organizations within NHS and social care settings, using the HL7 FHIR standard.
The project will run in parallel with a CDA based project. Both projects will deliver the same capability.
