Description
The Notes Section allow for inclusion of clinical documentation which does not fit precisely within any other C-CDA section. Multiple Notes sections may be included in a document provided they each include different types of note content as indicated by a different section.code. The Notes Section SHOULD NOT be used in place of a more specific a C-CDA section. For example, notes about procedure should be placed within the Procedures Section, not a Notes Section. When a Notes Section is present, Note Activity entries contain structured information about the note information allowing it to be more machine processable.

The narrative SHOULD contain human-readable representations using standard CDA narrative markup of each note to ensure widest compatibility with receivers. While allowed by CDA, the use of <renderMultiMedia> elements, which contain a referencedObject attribute pointing to an <observationMedia> or <regionOfInterest> element in the discrete entries, is discouraged in Note Sections because rendering support for these elements is not widespread.
