CDA Documents can have any structure by nesting the sections at any depth

Hi Robert ...

This is probably a better question for HL7. This is a tough question for
any implementer and the different methods to do so can be matters of
significant intellectual property for various vendors.

We here at QinetiQ built a system for the Department of Energy that could
be made to handle CDAs. I mention this because I am considering using our
DoE system for just such a purpose, i.e. CDA storage, in support of our
county hospital. Our approach simply stores any structured document
(after all CDAs are structured documents) as XML in the file system while
maintaining indexes to support retrieval.

I'm not trying to sell this system, I can't, its GOTS.
