What is a CCR file

CCR files contain all this information in an XML format.

Patient Demographics, Immunizations, Vital Signs, Problems and Diagnoses, Insurance Information, Health Care Providers, Encounter Information, Allergies/Alerting Data, Appropriate Results, Medication, Procedures, Results, Necessary Medical Equipment, Social History, Statistics, Family History and Care Plan.
