Hello EyeGuy,

This is Stefan with Amazing Charts Product Support.

Currently Amazing Charts can export the CCD in 2 versions, 2.5 and 2.1. Development has notified me that 2.5 is the newer version that is also certified for Meaningful Use while 2.1 is not applicable to Meaningful Use. With the 2.5 version we now have an XML and XSL, which are required to view the document. The XSL is a style sheet and a pertinent part of the new CCD format as it allows you to view the document, likewise it will allow Amazing Charts to display the file natively. The reason you cannot see the file and you are getting that error is because it simply cannot reference the style sheet or XSL. As long as both thee XML and XSL remain in the same directory on the computer, you will be able to open the CCD.

I have been told that you are able to import this back into Amazing Charts as an Imported Item for a patient, if necessary, and the style sheet can be manually placed into the folder for the specific patients Imported Items, although tedious, it would be a solution for having a CCD available in Imported Items.

For the sake of having an easier to use and all-in-one CCD, you can export in the old format 2.1, which will not count for Meaningful Use, but it is solely an XML that can be viewed by itself. It is also easily imported to AC since it is just one file using the CCD importing tool from the Main screen.

The choice for either version is only available when using the "CCD" button from the Summary Sheet, or Right-Clicking the patient name from the list and choosing "Export CCD," both of which allow you to choose the version of CCD prior to exporting once you fill out a HIPAA release of records form.

As a final note, remember that Stage 1 of Meaningful Use is about Capability of providing said materials. With that said it is possible to perform the export to get credit for Meaningful Use, the transmitting of the file(s) can be done at your discretion.

Please let me know if this was helpful and if I can help you with anything else, I can always resource more info from the Dev team as well.

Thank you!
