Hi Team,

I am encountering an error while validating my C-CDA document, which states:

"The scenario requires Planned Procedure data but the submitted C-CDA does not contain Planned Procedure data."

I have included a procedure in my C-CDA under the <procedure> entry for the patient "Alice Newman." However, I am unsure why the validator is flagging it as missing "Planned Procedure" data. Below is the relevant section of my C-CDA code:

<component> <section> <templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.2.10" extension="2014-06-09"/> <templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.2.10" /> <code codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.6.1" codeSystemName="LOINC" code="18776-5" displayName="Plan of Treatment" /> <title>Plan of Treatment</title> <text> i. Get an EKG done on 6/23/2015. ii. Get a Chest X-ray done on 6/23/2015 showing the Lower Respiratory Tract Structure. iii.

I have used the same validation criteria as outlined in the scenario (170.315_e1VDT_Amb), but the error still occurs. Could you please provide clarification on the following:

Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to your guidance.

Hi Ashan, I think the validation message is indicating that you need more data or more data is expected.

View the following examples and see if you can gain insight when comparing with your example.
