Overview
Cross-Enterprise Document Media Interchange (XDM) provides document interchange using a common file and directory structure over several standard media types. This permits the patient to use physical media to carry medical documents. This also permits the use of person-to-person email to convey medical documents. XDM supports the transfer of data about multiple patients within one data exchange.
XDM Facilitates person-to-person exchange of the healthcare information by supporting transport via physical media - USB and CD-R and supporting transport as an attachment to an email
