Currently no other industry standards exist for operational data about HCPs, HCOs, clinical operations and products & diseases. CDA is the only industry standard for this type of information.
CDA is complementary to existing standards. It does not define new standards where existing industry standards are widely adopted or required by regulatory authorities.
HL7 standardizes electronic health record (EHR) data about patients. As CDA does not define standards for patient health data, there is no overlap with HL7.
CDISC standardizes patient data from clinical research for analysis and regulatory submissions. As CDA does not define standards in this area, there is no overlap with CDISC.
By establishing standard names, data types, and definitions, CDA creates a common
understanding within and between organizations that increases speed, efficiency, and quality.
For example, as more products in the life sciences industry adopt CDA, integrations and
analytics projects will become faster to build, easier to maintain, and more accurate.
No other organization has a stronger technology footprint within life sciences companies. Veeva
is in a unique position to drive broad industry adoption of CDA. CDA is aligned with our vision
and values, and our purpose to improve the industry as a PBC.
