The Standard-based Extract, Transform, and Load (SETL) cell supports interoperability between i2b2 and standards-based clinical data formats. Currently nearing completion are tools to import and process HL7 Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs), which healthcare systems will shortly be producing as a requirement of Meaningful Use.

Use case 2: Import CCD documents directly into the i2b2 data repository

Presently encounter notes, problem list, medication list, and demographics are supported. More information available soon.
