CDA document type

This type provides general-purpose storage for CDA documents. CCD documents (which target a specific scenario) should be stored using the CCD types – all other CDA document types should be stored using this new types. If there are other specializations of CDA that you think the platform should store separately, please contact the HealthVault team.
