When reading about the new Apple Health thing, it is often mentioned, that Apple can also import CDA data.
However, I assume, that this is limited to the US CCDA format and is also leveraging the SMART framework.
Does anyone know whether they use DocumentReference/Binary Resources for this? Or it their approach for CDA completely different?

The Health app can import any CDA document. You have to manually add it and there is no parsing, it's simple storage.

They do parse out the narratives for each section - so some parsing, you need to add it manually. I added my mine from a patient portal download.
