Change History

This page describes the primary releases of the specification and summarizes the content for each:

Release 1.1.0

Added a number of enhancements and some changes to approach. Key differences are:

• Clarified that CRD results can be returned to non-clinical users
• Highlighted the challenges of CRD data coming in a different form and set of codes than payers have traditionally dealt with
• Explicit expectations with respect to performance and accuracy of CRD services
• Expectations around client ability to flag sensitive orders
• Specified a starter set of codes for configuration options and mandated the appearance of those codes in cards in a new card-topic element
• Added an extension to link cards to requests
• Introduced the new order-dispatch hook
• Added the Annotate and Pre-emptive prior authorization card types
• Revamped how Prefetch handles retrieving a patient’s coverage information
• Provided explicit guidance around deferring card actions
• Added a section on registering DTR apps with CRD

As well there were various other adjustments to specification language, profiles and examples to align with these changes and to correct minor typos or improve wording.
