This library is a work in progress and does not currently provide full CDA coverage.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To see how to use the library check out the tests folder. [ClinicalDocument\_test](tests/ClinicalDocument_test.php) and [NCTIS\_test](tests/NCTIS_test.php)are good starting points.

### Manage references

[](#manage-references)

Each `ClinicalDocument` has its own `ReferenceManager`, which help to manage references across documents.

`ReferenceType` may be added on some elements to create a reference :

```
$doc = new ClinicalDocument();

$refManager = $doc->getReferenceManager();

// create an element 'element' which may have a reference

$element->setReference($refManager->getReferenceType('my_reference'));
// will create blabla

// add the reference in a text

$text->setText($refManager->getReferenceElement('my_reference'));
// will create

```

Run tests
---------

[](#run-tests)

1. Run composer to load phpunit and build autoload :

```
composer install

```

2. Run tests

```
you might see the the file phpunit-debug in the tests, the file sets up command line debugging for intellij:
export XDEBUG_CONFIG="idekey=phpstorm-xdebug";
phpunit $@

tests are structured so you can run the tests per group.  look for the @group docblock in each test file.

```

Version History
---------------

[](#version-history)

### Version 1.0.0

[](#version-100)

This version has undergone significant refactoring and has had many more tags implemented. There has been some customisation to the Australian context. The [NCTIS\_test](tests/NCTIS_test.php) implements the code examples for an event summary CDA document.

In this version there is now a lot better checking of tag attributes such as moodCodes, classCodes, TypeCodes. These acceptable codes are enumerated in their Interfaces. Check out [ClassCodeInterface](lib/Interfaces/ClassCodeInterface.php)for an example. The possible attributes for each tag are derived from the schema documents and set using the setAcceptable< Attribute >Codes methods.

PHP Traits have been used extensively to improve the code-styling/readability and to reduce unnecessary code duplication.

Note that while every effort was made to maintain compatibility with the previous version some changes were required, and some breaking changes were made.
