Medical tourism is one of the emerging area throughout the globe. The movement of patient is worldwide. At the same time medical illiteracy is the common aspect irrespective of socio economic and geographical spheres and background. Careful and secured deployment of Electronic Health Record (EHR) of patients improves the safety and quality of medical care. The Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) developed by HL7 is a core document standard to comply and provide interoperability between hospitals, and propagation of the document format is very important for the exchange. But ground reality and common practice in hospitals is different and not willing to undertake interoperable Health Information System (HIS). This hindrance may be due to high deployment cost except for few developed countries. Many difficulties are faced while using the CDA document format because the data is not presented in a uniform and well organized manner and documents are more in number and leads to difficulty in management of such documents. Hence CDA document generation and integration using an Open API service based on cloud computing is very much requires, through which hospitals are enabled to easily and economically generate CDA documents without having to procure costly and custom software. This approach provides security to the CDA document through a unique identity (id) generation and avoids the interchanging and duplication of personal health reports. CDA document integration system integrates multiple CDA documents per patient into a single CDA and physicians and patients can browse the clinical data in chronological order.
