C-CDA on FHIR
1.2.0 - STU 1 United States of America flag

This page is part of the C-CDA on FHIR Implementation Guide (v1.2.0: STU 1) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

FHIR to C-CDA Procedures

FHIR US Core → C-CDA Mapping

While multiple vendors participated in CDA → FHIR mappings at a connectathon, only a single vendor (Cerner/Oracle) has participated in the FHIR → CDA mapping. We welcome feedback on these mappings which represent less than a multi-vendor consensus at this time.


This page provides a mapping from FHIR to CDA. For the CDA to FHIR mapping, please refer to Procedures CDA → FHIR. For guidance on how to read the table below, see Reading the C-CDA ↔ FHIR Mapping Pages.

Note on template selection

It also specifies a template for “all interventional, non-interventional, surgical, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures or treatments pertinent to the patient historically at the time the document is generated.” For this reason, we recommend mapping FHIR Procedures to Procedure Activity Procedure when using the C-CDA R3/E1 guide for the targeted C-CDA, while guidance on mapping to the other templates when generating an older version C-CDA will be forthcoming.
