Sending a CDA Document
Scenario
The "Anytown General Hospital" needs to send an ITK Discharge Summary for the now completed in-patient stay for Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith has been discharged from the care of the Oncology team in the hospital. The Discharge Summary needs to be delivered to Mrs. Smith's General Practice "The Surgery, Townville", and in particular to her regular General Practitioner Dr. Brown. It is the hospital's practice to request both an infrastructure acknowledgement and business acknowledgement from GP practices to show that Discharge Summaries have been received into the GP practice system. Metadata is also generated for the correspondence.
Codes used in this example
- Anytown General Hospital has an Organisation Data Service (ODS) code of "R59"
- The Surgery, Townville has an ODS code of "Y88764"
- Dr. Brown has a General Medical Council code of "G1234567"
- Mrs. Smith's NHS Number is "2345678901"
- The discharge summary interaction id is "urn:nhs-itk:interaction:primaryRecipienteDischargeInpatientDischargeSummaryDocument-v1-0"
Acknowledgement related handling specifications

- urn:nhs-itk:ns:201005:ackrequested set to "true"
