XSD for CCD

Regarding the XSD for CCD, see: [1]. The DS2 prototype uses the Model Driven Health Tools mentioned there (though it's a dead link in the blog post; current links are: [2] and [3]).

C32 to C-CDA

• Blog post - a nice overview of CCDA
• Blog post - migration from C32 CCD to C-CDA CCD

XSL for CCD 

The Lantana Consulting Group maintains a page with CDA tools, including a generic CDA XSL Style Sheet that can be used to convert CDA xml to HTML for rendering.

You can download the Style Sheet from:

https://www.lantanagroup.com/resources/free-tools/ (under the "Singleton CDA XSL StyleSheet" section)

It's worth noting that XSL for CDA/CCD documents relies primarily on the HTML content embedded in <text> in the sections of the document for display of clinical information, as opposed to parsing and displaying the structured content in each section. This means that the degree of completeness of the web browser display is variable and depends on how much information the author of the CCD decided to put in the HTML content.
