Introducing LEAD North's CCD Data Profiling Tool

Profiling CCD Documents with LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler
Ever opened a CCD and been greeted by a wall of tangled XML? You’re not alone. Despite being a core format for clinical data exchange, CCD's are notoriously dense, verbose, and unfriendly to the human eye. For developers and analysts trying to validate their structure or extract meaningful insights, navigating these documents can feel more like archaeology than engineering.

Introducing the CCD Data Profiler
LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler is a full-stack tool built with Intersystems' technology that streamlines the import, parsing, validation, and export of CCD data. Tailored for healthcare developers and data analysts, it offers an end-to-end solution for quality assurance, data completeness checks, and interoperability validation.
Key Features

• Flexible Import Options: Upload local CCD files or pull documents directly from the document repository with customizable section selection before each run.
• Configurable Profiling: Choose exactly which CCD sections to profile (e.g., Allergies, Medications, Problems) through the import settings module on the home page.
• Interactive Reports: The Reports page displays all of the data found within your documents! Expand any section to drill into individual field values and identify missing elements, which are greyed out for quick visual inspection.
• Spreadsheet Export & De-identification: Export results to a spreadsheet with user-selected sections and optional de-identification of PHI fields (note: this assists but does not guarantee complete PHI removal).
• Dynamic XSLT Management: On the Configuration page, edit and test XSLT snippets in-browser. Modify XPath expressions on the fly and preview the extraction output against sample CCDs!

Installation & Setup
The profiler supports both manual deployment and package installation. For complete instructions, see the GitHub repository: https://github.com/LEADNorthLLC/External-CCDProfiler
