The Standards Governance Board (SGB), in conjunction with the Product Line Architecture Group (PLA), is in the process of establishing a new Clinical Document Architecture (CDA®) Product Family.

As part of that process, the SGB and PLA are seeking qualified HL7 members to form the Clinical Document Architecture Management Group (CDA-MG).

To quote from the CDA-MG Mission and Charter, “The Clinical Document Architecture Management Group (CDA-MG) provides day-to-day oversight of the processes related to Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) products throughout their lifecycle. This includes ensuring CDA product quality, monitoring scope and consistency with Standards Governance Board (SGB) principles, and aiding in the resolution of CDA related intra- and inter-work group issues.”

• Providers

• Payer
• Steering division
• At least one member to represent the “international” (non-US) perspective appointed by the TSC with consideration of the recommendations of the SGB and the International Council.
