CARA Requirements

There are some special requirements on top of the EPR, due to the software used by CARA.

When publishing a document (ITI-41)

The DocumentEntry.sourcePatientInfo SHALL be present and convey the patient first and last name in the PID-5 field. This information is used by the web portal to show the patient name associated with that document. You can provide the name as found in the MPI.

Other PID fields are optional.
