cTAKES handling HL7 CDA Level 1

Dear cTAKES developer mailing list,

We have been working on a project at Hopkins for converting Epic-generated RTF notes into Clinical Document Architecture Level One.

We have been using HL7 CDA® Release 2 Schema, and now we plan to use cTAKES for concept extraction from those documents. The CDA Schema and examples can be found here
https://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=7

In the cTAKES documentation, I see that CdaCasInitializer "does not handle all CDA documents. The CDA document must conform to the DTD resources/cda/NotesIIST_RTF.DTD."

Has anyone tested and evaluated cTAKES ability to consume HL7 CDA Level 1 Release 2 documents?

Thank you,
Masoud

Hi Masoud,

I think that the CdaCasInitializer is at least 10 years old.  I would not expect it to conform to any recent standards.

Does anybody else have a reader or transformer that can handle HL7 CDA r2?

p.s.
If anybody is involved with HL7 International, you may want to get some movement on addressing the typo on the page header(s): 

Section 1a: Clinical Document Architcture (CDA®)
