+# HealthChain Mappings
+
+This directory contains mapping configurations used by the HealthChain interoperability module to translate between different healthcare data formats.
+
+## Organization
+
+The mappings are organized by the formats they translate between:
+
+- `cda_default/` - Default mappings for CDA format
+  - `systems.yaml` - Code system mappings (SNOMED CT, LOINC, etc.)
+  - `status_codes.yaml` - Status code mappings (active, inactive, resolved)
+  - `severity_codes.yaml` - Severity code mappings (mild, moderate, severe)
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+The mapping directory to use is configurable through the `defaults.mappings_dir` configuration value. The default is `"cda_default"`.
+
+## Structure
+
+Each mapping file uses a flat structure designed for clarity and simplicity. See the README in each subdirectory for detailed examples and documentation.
+
+## Adding New Mappings
+
+To add mappings for new format combinations:
+
+1. Create a new subdirectory (e.g., `hl7v2/` for HL7v2 mappings, or `cda_local/` for local CDA mappings)
+2. Add yaml files for each mapping type needed
+3. Update the mapping directory in your configuration to use the new mappings
+
+## Usage
+
+These mapping files are loaded automatically by the `InteropConfigManager` and are used by the filters in the `healthchain.interop.filters` module to translate codes between formats.

+# CDA Default Mappings
+
+This directory contains default mapping configurations used to translate between CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) and FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) formats.
+
+## Files
+
+- `systems.yaml` - Code system mappings between FHIR URLs and CDA OIDs
+- `status_codes.yaml` - Status code mappings (FHIR status codes to CDA status codes)
+- `severity_codes.yaml` - Severity code mappings (FHIR severity codes to CDA severity codes)
+
+## Structure
+
+Each mapping file uses a flat structure designed for clarity and simplicity, consistently using FHIR values as keys mapping to CDA values:
+
+### systems.yaml
+```yaml
+"http://snomed.info/sct":
+  oid: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.96"
+  name: "SNOMED CT"
+
+"http://loinc.org":
+  oid: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.1"

+```yaml
+"severe":
+  code: "H"
+  display: "Severe"
+
+"moderate":
+  code: "M"
+  display: "Moderate"
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+These mappings are used by the filters in the interoperability module for bidirectional translation between CDA and FHIR:
+
+1. **FHIR to CDA**: Maps FHIR URLs to CDA OIDs, FHIR status codes to CDA status codes, etc.
+2. **CDA to FHIR**: Maps CDA OIDs to FHIR URLs, CDA status codes to FHIR status codes, etc. (reverse lookup)

+# Basic Format Conversion
+
+This tutorial demonstrates how to use the HealthChain interoperability module to convert between different healthcare data formats.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- HealthChain installed (`pip install healthchain`)
+- Basic understanding of FHIR resources
+- Sample CDA or HL7v2 files (or you can use the examples below)
+
+## Setup
+
+First, let's import the required modules and create an interoperability engine:
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+from pathlib import Path
+import json
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+```
+
+## Converting CDA to FHIR
+
+Let's convert a CDA document to FHIR resources:
+
+```python
+# Sample CDA document
+cda_xml = """
+<ClinicalDocument xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3">
+  <templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.1.2"/>

+hl7v2_message = engine.from_fhir(resources, dest_format=FormatType.HL7V2)
+
+# Print the resulting HL7v2 message
+print(hl7v2_message)
+```
+
+## Saving Conversion Results
+
+Let's save our conversion results to files:
+
+```python
+# Save FHIR resources to JSON files
+output_dir = Path("./output")
+output_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
+
+for resource in fhir_resources:
+    filename = f"{resource.resource_type.lower()}_{resource.id}.json"
+    with open(output_dir / filename, "w") as f:
+        json.dump(resource.dict(), f, indent=2)
+
+# Save CDA document to XML file
+with open(output_dir / "document.xml", "w") as f:
+    f.write(cda_document)
+
+# Save HL7v2 message to file
+with open(output_dir / "message.hl7", "w") as f:
+    f.write(hl7v2_message)
+```
+

+### Interoperability 🔄
+
+The HealthChain Interoperability module provides tools for converting between different healthcare data formats, including HL7 FHIR, HL7 CDA, and HL7v2 messages.
+
+[(Full Documentation on Interoperability Engine)](./reference/interop/interop.md)
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+
+# Create an interoperability engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Load a CDA document
+with open("tests/data/test_cda.xml", "r") as f:
+    cda_xml = f.read()
+
+# Convert CDA XML to FHIR resources
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(cda_xml, src_format=FormatType.CDA)
+
+# Convert FHIR resources back to CDA
+cda_document = engine.from_fhir(fhir_resources, dest_format=FormatType.CDA)
+```
+
+The interop module provides a flexible, template-based approach to healthcare format conversion:
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Format conversion | Convert legacy formats (CDA, HL7v2) to FHIR resources and back |
+| Template-based generation | Customize syntactic output using [Liquid](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) templates |
+| Configuration | Configure terminology mappings, validation rules, and environments |
+| Extension | Register custom parsers, generators, and validators |
+
+For more details, see the [conversion examples](cookbook/interop/basic_conversion.md).

+# Configuration
+
+The interoperability module uses a configuration system to control its behavior. This includes mappings between different healthcare data formats, validation rules, and environment-specific settings.
+
+## Configuration Components
+
+| Component | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `InteropConfigManager` | Manages access to configuration files and values |
+| `defaults.yaml` | Default configuration values for FHIR required fields |
+| `environments/` | Environment-specific configuration values |
+| `interop/` | Configuration for format specific settings (e.g. CDA, HL7v2) |
+| `mappings/` | Mapping tables for codes, identifiers, and terminology systems |
+| `templates/` | Templates for generating healthcare documents |
+
+## Configuration Structure
+
+The configuration system uses `YAML` files with a hierarchical structure. The main configuration sections include:
+
+- `defaults`: Global default values
+- `cda`: Contains CDA specific configurations
+    - `sections`: Configuration for CDA document sections
+    - `document`: Configuration for CDA document types
+- `mappings`: Mappings between different terminology systems
+- `templates`: Template configuration
+
+## Default Configuration
+
+The default configuration is stored in `configs/defaults.yaml` and contains global settings and default fallback values for required fields in FHIR resources in the event that they are not provided in the source document.
+
+```yaml
+defaults:
+  # Common defaults for all resources
+  common:
+    id_prefix: "hc-"
+    timestamp: "%Y%m%d"
+    reference_name: "#{uuid}name"
+    subject:
+      reference: "Patient/example"
+
+  # Resource-specific defaults
+  resources:
+    Condition:
+      clinicalStatus:
+        coding:
+          - system: "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical"
+            code: "unknown"
+            display: "Unknown"
+    MedicationStatement:
+      status: "unknown"
+      medication:
+        concept:
+          coding:
+            - system: "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-NullFlavor"
+              code: "UNK"
+              display: "Unknown"
+```
+
+## CDA Configurations
+
+CDA configurations primarily concern the extraction and rendering processes on the ***document*** and ***section*** level. While [Templates](./templates.md) are used to define the syntactic structure of the document, the YAML configurations are used to define the semantic content of the document structure, such as template IDs, status codes, and other metadata.
+
+Configs are loaded from the `configs/interop/cda/` directory and loaded in the `ConfigManager` with the folder and filenames as keys. e.g. given the following directory structure:
+
+```
+configs/
+  interop/
+    cda/
+      document/
+        ccd.yaml
+      sections/
+        problems.yaml
+```
+The config will be loaded into the config manager under the key `cda.document.ccd` and `cda.sections.problems`.
+
+### Example Document Configuration
+
+```yaml
+# configs/interop/cda/document/ccd.yaml
+
+# Configured template names in templates/ directory (required)
+templates:
+  document: "fhir_cda/document"
+  section: "fhir_cda/section"
+
+# Basic document information
+code:
+  code: "34133-9"
+  code_system: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.1"
+  code_system_name: "LOINC"
+  display: "Summarization of Episode Note"
+realm_code: "GB"
+type_id:
+  extension: "POCD_HD000040"
+  root: "2.16.840.1.113883.1.3"
+template_id:
+  root: "1.2.840.114350.1.72.1.51693"
+# ...
+
+# Document structure
+structure:
+  # Header configuration
+  header:
+    include_patient: false
+    include_author: false
+    include_custodian: false
+
+  # Body configuration
+  body:
+    structured_body: true
+    non_xml_body: false
+    include_sections:
+      - "allergies"
+      - "medications"
+      - "problems"
+```
+
+### Example Section Configuration
+
+```yaml
+# configs/interop/cda/sections/problems.yaml
+
+# Metadata for both extraction and rendering processes (required)
+resource: "Condition" # The FHIR resource this section maps to
+resource_template: "cda_fhir/condition" # The template to use for the FHIR resource rendering
+entry_template: "fhir_cda/problem_entry" # The template to use for the CDA section entry rendering
+
+# Section identifiers (used for extraction) (required)
+identifiers:
+  template_id: "2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.1.11"
+  code: "11450-4"
+
+# Template configuration (used for rendering)
+template:
+  act:
+    template_id:
+      - "2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.1.27"
+    status_code: "completed"
+    # ...
+```
+
+## Mapping Tables
+
+Mapping tables are used to translate codes and identifiers between different terminology systems. These are stored in the `mappings/` directory.
+
+Example mapping table for coding systems:
+
+```yaml
+# mappings/cda_default/systems.yaml
+systems:
+  "http://snomed.info/sct":
+    oid: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.96"
+    name: "SNOMED CT"
+
+  "http://loinc.org":
+    oid: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.1"
+    name: "LOINC"
+
+  "http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/rxnorm":
+    oid: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.88"
+    name: "RxNorm"
+```
+(Full Documentation on [Mappings](mappings.md))
+
+
+## Environment-Specific Configuration
+
+The configuration system supports different environments (development, testing, production) with environment-specific overrides. These are stored in the `environments/` directory. In development and subject to change.
+
+```yaml
+# environments/development.yaml
+defaults:
+  common:
+    id_prefix: "dev-"     # Development-specific ID prefix
+    subject:
+      reference: "Patient/Foo"
+
+# environments/production.yaml
+defaults:
+  common:
+    id_prefix: "hc-"      # Production ID prefix
+    subject:
+      reference: "Patient/example"
+```
+
+## Using the Configuration Manager
+
+### Basic Configuration Access
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+# OR
+engine = create_engine(config_dir="custom_configs/")
+
+# Get all configurations
+engine.config.get_configs()
+
+# Get a configuration value by dot notation
+id_prefix = engine.config.get_config_value("defaults.common.id_prefix")
+
+# Set the environment (this reloads configuration from the specified environment)
+engine = create_engine(environment="production")
+
+# Validation level is set during initialization or using set_validation_level
+engine = create_engine(validation_level="warn")
+# OR
+engine.config.set_validation_level("strict")
+
+# Set a runtime configuration override
+engine.config.set_config_value("cda.sections.problems.identifiers.code", "10160-0")
+```
+
+### Section Configuration
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Get all section configurations
+sections = engine.config.get_cda_section_configs()
+
+# Get a specific section configuration
+problems_config = engine.config.get_cda_section_configs("problems")
+
+# Get section identifiers
+template_id = problems_config["identifiers"]["template_id"]
+code = problems_config["identifiers"]["code"]
+```
+
+### Mapping Access
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Get all mappings
+mappings = engine.config.get_mappings()
+
+# Get a specific mapping
+systems = mappings.get("cda_fhir", {}).get("systems", {})
+snomed = systems.get("http://snomed.info/sct", {})
+snomed_oid = snomed.get("oid")  # "2.16.840.1.113883.6.96"
+```
+
+## Configuration Loading Order
+
+The configuration system follows a hierarchical loading order, where each layer can override values from previous layers:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│    1. BASE CONFIGURATION        │
+│       configs/defaults.yaml     │
+│                                 │
+│  • Default values for all envs  │
+│  • Complete set of all options  │
+│  • Lowest precedence            │
+└─────────────────┬───────────────┘
+                  │
+                  ▼
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│   2. ENVIRONMENT CONFIGURATION  │
+│  configs/environments/{env}.yaml│
+│                                 │
+│  • Environment-specific values  │
+│  • Overrides matching defaults  │
+│  • Medium precedence            │
+└─────────────────┬───────────────┘
+                  │
+                  ▼
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│   3. RUNTIME CONFIGURATION      │
+│     Programmatic overrides      │
+│                                 │
+│  • Set via API at runtime       │
+│  • For temporary changes        │
+│  • Highest precedence           │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Example of Configuration Override
+
+Consider the following values set across different configuration layers:
+
+1. In `defaults.yaml`:
+```yaml
+defaults:
+  common:
+    id_prefix: "hc-"
+    subject:
+      reference: "Patient/example"
+```
+
+2. In `environments/development.yaml`:
+```yaml
+defaults:
+  common:
+    id_prefix: "dev-"
+    subject:
+      reference: "Patient/Foo"
+```
+
+3. Runtime override in code:
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+from healthchain.interop.types import FormatType
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Override a configuration value at runtime
+engine.config.set_config_value("defaults.common.id_prefix", "test-")
+
+with open("tests/data/test_cda.xml", "r") as f:
+    cda = f.read()
+
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(cda, FormatType.CDA)
+print(fhir_resources[0].id)  # Will use "test-" prefix instead of "dev-" or "hc-"
+```
+
+In this example, the final value of `id_prefix` would be `"test-"` because the runtime override has the highest precedence, followed by the environment configuration, and finally the base configuration.
+
+## Validation Levels
+
+The configuration system supports different validation levels:
+
+| Level | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `strict` | Raise exceptions for any configuration errors |
+| `warn` | Log warnings for configuration errors but continue |
+| `ignore` | Ignore configuration errors |
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+
+# Create an engine with a specific validation level
+engine = create_engine(validation_level="warn")
+
+# Change the validation level
+engine.config.set_validation_level("strict")
+```

+# InteropEngine
+
+The `InteropEngine` is the core component of the HealthChain interoperability module. It provides a unified interface for converting between different healthcare data formats.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+
+# Create an interoperability engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Convert CDA XML to FHIR resources
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(cda_xml, src_format=FormatType.CDA)
+
+# Convert FHIR resources to CDA XML
+cda_xml = engine.from_fhir(fhir_resources, dest_format=FormatType.CDA)
+
+# Convert HL7v2 message to FHIR resources
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(hl7v2_message, src_format=FormatType.HL7V2)
+```
+
+## Creating an Engine
+
+The `create_engine()` function is the recommended way to create an engine instance:
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+
+# Create with default configuration
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Create with custom configuration directory
+from pathlib import Path
+config_dir = Path("/path/to/configs")
+engine = create_engine(config_dir=config_dir)
+
+# Create with custom validation level
+engine = create_engine(validation_level="warn")
+```
+
+## Conversion Methods
+
+All conversions convert to and from FHIR.
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `to_fhir(data, src_format)` | Convert from source format to FHIR resources |
+| `from_fhir(resources, dest_format)` | Convert from FHIR resources to destination format |
+
+### Converting to FHIR
+
+```python
+# From CDA
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(cda_xml, src_format=FormatType.CDA)
+
+# From HL7v2
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(hl7v2_message, src_format=FormatType.HL7V2)
+```
+
+### Converting from FHIR
+
+```python
+# To CDA
+cda_xml = engine.from_fhir(fhir_resources, dest_format=FormatType.CDA)
+
+# To HL7v2
+hl7v2_message = engine.from_fhir(fhir_resources, dest_format=FormatType.HL7V2)
+```
+
+## Accessing Configuration
+
+The engine provides direct access to the underlying configuration manager:
+
+```python
+# Access configuration directly
+engine.config.set_environment("production")
+engine.config.set_validation_level("warn")
+value = engine.config.get_config_value("cda.sections.problems.resource")
+```
+
+## Custom Components
+
+You can register custom parsers and generators to extend the engine's capabilities. Note that registering a custom parser / generator for an existing format type will replace the default.
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import FormatType
+
+# Register a custom parser
+engine.register_parser(FormatType.CDA, custom_parser)
+
+# Register a custom generator
+engine.register_generator(FormatType.FHIR, custom_generator)
+```
+<!--  This bit is a big confusing, maybe put it in a cookbook example to add custom stuff
+### Custom Configuration Validation
+
+You can also register Pydantic models to the engine for custom configuration validation.
+
+The configurations are used in the Liquid templates and control the structural content of the generated document.
+
+This is useful when you need to add additional sections to the CDA document template or would like to customize the validation of existing default sections.
+
+```python
+from healthchain.config.validators import ComponentTemplateConfig, SectionTemplateConfigBase
+
+# Register a validator for the Procedure section, should inherit from SectionTemplateConfigBase
+class ProcedureSectionConfig(SectionTemplateConfigBase):
+    procedure: ComponentTemplateConfig
+    specimen: ComponentTemplateConfig
+    indication_obs: ComponentTemplateConfig
+
+engine.register_cda_section_config_validator("Procedure", ProcedureSectionConfig)
+```
+
+You can also register a custom document configuration validator for different document types.
+
+```python
+from healthchain.config.validators import DocumentConfigBase
+
+# Register a validator for the Discharge Summary document, should inherit from DocumentConfigBase
+class DischargeSummaryDocumentConfig(DocumentConfigBase):
+    # specific custom configs
+    discharge_diagnosis: Dict[str, Any]
+    discharge_medications: Dict[str, Any]
+
+engine.register_cda_document_config_validator("DischargeSummary", DischargeSummaryDocumentConfig)
+```
+
+For more information see the [Validators API](../../api/interop.md). -->
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+For more information on the configuration options, see the [Configuration](configuration.md) page.

+# Generators
+
+Generators in the interoperability module are responsible for producing healthcare data in various formats from FHIR resources. The module includes built-in generators for common formats including CDA, HL7v2, and FHIR.
+
+The generators are largely configuration-driven, with rendering done using Liquid templates. We highly recommend that you read through the [Templates](templates.md) and [Configuration](configuration.md) sections before using the generators!
+
+## Available Generators
+
+| Generator | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `CDAGenerator` | Generates CDA XML documents from FHIR resources |
+| `FHIRGenerator` | Generates FHIR JSON/XML from FHIR resources |
+<!-- | `HL7v2Generator` | Generates HL7v2 messages from FHIR resources | -->
+
+
+## CDA Generator
+
+The CDA Generator produces Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) XML documents from FHIR resources.
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+from healthchain.fhir import create_condition
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Use the FHIR helper functions to create a condition resource
+condition = create_condition(
+    code="38341003",
+    display="Hypertension",
+    system="http://snomed.info/sct",
+    subject="Patient/Foo",
+    clinical_status="active"
+)
+
+# Generate CDA from FHIR resources
+cda_xml = engine.from_fhir([condition], dest_format=FormatType.CDA)
+
+# Access the CDA generator directly (advanced use case)
+cda_generator = engine.cda_generator
+cda_xml = cda_generator.transform([condition])
+```
+
+## FHIR Generator
+
+The FHIR Generator transforms data from other formats into FHIR resources. It currently only supports transforming CDA documents into FHIR resources.
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# CDA section entries in dictionary format (@ is used to represent XML attributes)
+cda_section_entries = {
+    "problems": {
+        "act": {
+            "@classCode": "ACT",
+            "@moodCode": "EVN"
+            ...
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+# Generate FHIR resources
+fhir_generator = engine.fhir_generator
+fhir_resources = fhir_generator.transform(cda_section_entries, src_format=FormatType.CDA)

+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+The FHIR generator transforms this structure into a FHIR Condition resource by:
+<br>
+1. Identifying the section type ("problems") from the dictionary key
+<br>
+2. Looking up the corresponding FHIR resource type ("Condition") from configuration
+<br>
+3. Extracting relevant data from the nested structure (codes, dates, statuses)
+<br>
+4. Using templates to map specific fields to FHIR attributes
+<br>
+
+The result is a properly structured FHIR Condition resource with all required fields populated.
+</details>
+
+<!-- ## HL7v2 Generator
+
+The HL7v2 Generator produces HL7 version 2 messages from FHIR resources (Coming soon!) -->
+
+
+## Creating a Custom Generator
+
+You can create a custom generator by implementing a class that inherits from `BaseGenerator` and registering it with the engine (this will replace the default generator for the format type):
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+from healthchain.interop.config_manager import InteropConfigManager
+from healthchain.interop.template_registry import TemplateRegistry
+from healthchain.interop.generators import BaseGenerator
+
+from typing import List
+from fhir.resources.resource import Resource
+
+
+class CustomGenerator(BaseGenerator):
+    def __init__(self, config: InteropConfigManager, templates: TemplateRegistry):
+        super().__init__(config, templates)
+
+    def transform(self, resources: List[Resource], **kwargs) -> str:
+        # Generate output from FHIR resources
+        return "Custom output format"
+
+# Register the custom generator with the engine
+engine = create_engine()
+engine.register_generator(FormatType.CDA, CustomGenerator(engine.config, engine.template_registry))
+```

+# Interoperability Engine
+
+The HealthChain Interop Engine provides a robust and customizable framework for converting between different HL7 healthcare data formats, including:
+
+- FHIR
+- CDA
+- HL7v2 (Coming soon)
+
+## Architecture
+
+The interoperability module is built around a central `InteropEngine` that coordinates format conversion through specialized parsers and generators:

+
+## Key Components
+
+| Component | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| [**InteropEngine**](engine.md) | Core engine that manages the conversion process |
+| [**Templates**](templates.md) | Liquid-based template system for customizing output syntactic generation |
+| [**Mappings**](mappings.md) | Mappings between different terminology systems |
+| [**Configuration**](configuration.md) | Configuration system for controlling engine behavior and template variations|
+| [**Parsers**](parsers.md) | Components for parsing different healthcare formats |
+| [**Generators**](generators.md) | Components for generating output in different formats |
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+FHIR serves as the de facto data standard in HealthChain (and in the world of healthcare more broadly, ideally), therefore everything converts to and from FHIR resources.
+
+The main conversion methods are (hold on to your hats):
+
+- `.to_fhir()` - Convert a source format to FHIR resources
+- `.from_fhir()` - Convert FHIR resources to a destination format
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+
+# Create an interoperability engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Convert CDA XML to FHIR resources
+with open('patient_ccd.xml', 'r') as f:
+    cda_xml = f.read()
+
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(cda_xml, src_format="cda")
+
+# Convert FHIR resources back to CDA
+cda_document = engine.from_fhir(fhir_resources, dest_format="cda")
+```
+
+## Customization Points
+
+The interoperability module is designed with extensibility at its core. You can customize and extend the framework in several ways:
+
+### Custom Parsers
+
+Parsers convert source formats (CDA or HL7v2) into mapped dictionaries that can be processed by generators:
+
+```python
+# Register a custom parser with the engine
+engine.register_parser(FormatType.CDA, CustomCDAParser(engine.config))
+```
+
+For detailed implementation examples, see [Creating a Custom Parser](parsers.md#creating-a-custom-parser).
+
+### Custom Generators
+
+Generators transform mapped dictionaries into target formats:
+
+```python
+# Register a custom generator with the engine
+engine.register_generator(FormatType.CDA,
+                         CustomCDAGenerator(engine.config, engine.template_registry))
+```
+
+For detailed implementation examples, see [Creating a Custom Generator](generators.md#creating-a-custom-generator).
+
+
+### Environment Configuration
+
+You can customize the engine's behavior for different environments:
+
+```python
+# Create an engine with specific environment settings
+engine = create_engine(
+    config_dir=Path("/path/to/custom/configs"),
+    validation_level="warn",  # Options: strict, warn, ignore
+    environment="production"  # Options: development, testing, production
+)
+
+# Change environment settings after creation
+engine.config.set_environment("testing")
+engine.config.set_validation_level("strict")
+
+# Access environment-specific configuration
+id_prefix = engine.config.get_config_value("defaults.common.id_prefix")
+```
+
+Environment-specific configurations are loaded from the `environments/` directory and can override default settings for different deployment scenarios.
+
+### Template Customization
+
+The template system uses [Liquid templates](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) to generate output formats. You can:
+
+1. Override existing templates by placing custom versions in the configured template directory
+2. Add new templates for custom formats or content types
+3. Extend the template system with custom logic via filters
+
+For more details on extending the system, check out the [Templates](templates.md) and [Configuration](configuration.md) pages.

+# Mappings
+
+Mapping tables are used to translate between different healthcare terminology systems, code sets, and formats. These mappings are essential for semantic interoperability between CDA, HL7v2, and FHIR formats where the same concept may be represented differently.
+
+## Mapping Types
+
+The system supports several types of mappings:
+
+| Mapping Type | Description | Example |
+|--------------|-------------|---------|
+| **Code Systems** | Maps between URI-based systems (FHIR) and OID-based systems (CDA) | SNOMED CT: `http://snomed.info/sct` ↔ `2.16.840.1.113883.6.96` |
+| **Status Codes** | Maps status codes between formats | `active` ↔ `55561003` |
+| **Severity Codes** | Maps severity designations between formats | `moderate` ↔ `6736007` |
+
+## Mapping Directory Structure
+
+Mappings are stored in YAML files in the `configs/mappings/` directory, organized by the formats they translate between:
+
+```
+configs/mappings/
+├── cda_fhir/
+│   ├── systems.yaml
+│   ├── status_codes.yaml
+│   └── severity_codes.yaml
+├── hl7v2_fhir/
+│   └── ...
+└── README.md
+```
+
+## Mapping File Format
+
+### Code Systems Mapping
+
+The `systems.yaml` file maps between FHIR URI-based code systems and CDA OID-based systems:
+
+```yaml
+# mappings/cda_fhir/systems.yaml
+systems:
+  "http://snomed.info/sct":
+    oid: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.96"
+    name: "SNOMED CT"
+
+  "http://loinc.org":
+    oid: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.1"
+    name: "LOINC"
+
+  "http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/rxnorm":
+    oid: "2.16.840.1.113883.6.88"
+    name: "RxNorm"
+```
+
+### Status Codes Mapping
+
+The `status_codes.yaml` file maps between different formats' status codes:
+
+```yaml
+# mappings/cda_fhir/status_codes.yaml
+# Clinical status codes (CDA to FHIR)
+"55561003":
+  code: "active"
+  display: "Active"
+
+"73425007":
+  code: "inactive"
+  display: "Inactive"
+
+"413322009":
+  code: "resolved"
+  display: "Resolved"
+```
+
+### Severity Codes Mapping
+
+The `severity_codes.yaml` file maps severity designations between formats:
+
+```yaml
+# mappings/cda_fhir/severity_codes.yaml
+# Allergy and reaction severity codes (CDA to FHIR)
+"255604002":  # Mild (SNOMED CT)
+  code: "mild"
+  display: "Mild"
+
+"6736007":  # Moderate (SNOMED CT)
+  code: "moderate"
+  display: "Moderate"
+
+"24484000":  # Severe (SNOMED CT)
+  code: "severe"
+  display: "Severe"
+```
+
+## Using Mappings
+
+The `InteropEngine` automatically loads and applies mappings during the conversion process. You can also access mappings directly through the configuration manager:
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Get all mappings
+mappings = engine.config.get_mappings()
+
+# Access specific mapping
+systems = mappings.get("cda_fhir", {}).get("systems", {})
+snomed = systems.get("http://snomed.info/sct", {})
+snomed_oid = snomed.get("oid")  # "2.16.840.1.113883.6.96"
+```
+
+## Template Filters for Mappings
+
+The mapping system provides several Liquid template filters to help with code translation:
+
+| Filter | Description | Example Usage |
+|--------|-------------|---------------|
+| `map_system` | Maps between CDA and FHIR code systems | `{{ "http://snomed.info/sct" | map_system: 'fhir_to_cda' }}` |
+| `map_status` | Maps between CDA and FHIR status codes | `{{ "active" | map_status: 'fhir_to_cda' }}` |
+| `map_severity` | Maps between CDA and FHIR severity codes | `{{ "moderate" | map_severity: 'fhir_to_cda' }}` |
+
+Example in a template:
+
+```liquid
+{
+  "code": {
+    "@codeSystem": "{{ resource.code.coding[0].system | map_system: 'fhir_to_cda' }}",
+    "@code": "{{ resource.code.coding[0].code }}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Adding Custom Mappings
+
+To add new mappings:
+
+1. Create or modify the appropriate YAML file in the `configs/mappings/` directory
+2. Follow the structure of existing mapping files
+3. The changes will be automatically loaded the next time the `InteropEngine` is initialized
+
+For more complex mapping needs, you can create custom mapping filters:
+
+```python
+def custom_map_filter(value, mappings, direction="fhir_to_cda"):
+    # Custom mapping logic here
+    return mapped_value
+
+# Register with the template registry
+engine.template_registry.add_filter("custom_map", custom_map_filter)
+```
+
+<!-- ## Best Practices
+
+1. **Maintain Standard Terminology**: When possible, use standard terminology systems like SNOMED CT, LOINC, and RxNorm.
+2. **Document Source**: Include references to the source of mapping definitions in comments.
+3. **Handle Missing Mappings**: Always include logic to handle cases where mappings are not found.
+4. **Test Bidirectional Mappings**: Ensure that mappings work correctly in both directions.
+5. **Version Control**: Consider adding version information for terminology systems. -->

+# Parsers
+
+Parsers are responsible for extracting structured data from various healthcare document formats. The module includes built-in parsers for common formats like CDA and HL7v2.
+
+## Available Parsers
+
+| Parser | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `CDAParser` | Parses CDA XML documents into structured data |
+| `HL7v2Parser` | Parses HL7v2 messages into structured data |
+
+## CDA Parser
+
+The CDA Parser extracts data from Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) XML documents based on configured section identifiers.
+
+Internally, it uses [xmltodict](https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict) to parse the XML into a dictionary, validates the dictionary with [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/), and then maps each entry to the section keys. See [Working with xmltodict in HealthChain](./xmltodict.md) for more details.
+
+Each extracted entry should be mapped to the name of the corresponding configuration file, which will be used as the `section_key`. The configuration file contains information about the section identifiers that are used to extract the correct section entries.
+
+The input data should be in the format `{<section_key>}: {<section_entries>}`.
+
+([Full Documentation on Configuration](./configuration.md))
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Parse a CDA document directly to FHIR
+with open("tests/data/test_cda.xml", "r") as f:
+    cda_xml = f.read()
+
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(cda_xml, src_format=FormatType.CDA)
+
+# Access the CDA parser directly (advanced use case)
+cda_parser = engine.cda_parser
+sections = cda_parser.parse_document(cda_xml)
+
+# Extract problems section data
+problems = sections.get("problems", [])
+# parsed CDA section entry in xmltodict format - note that '@' is used to access attributes
+# {
+#   "act": {
+#     "@classCode": "ACT",
+#     "@moodCode": "EVN",
+#     ...
+#   }
+# }
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary>View full parsed output</summary>
+
+Note how the original XML structure is preserved in dictionary format with '@' used to denote attributes:

+
+This data structure represents a problem (condition) entry from a CDA document, containing:
+<br>
+- A problem act with template IDs and status
+<br>
+- An observation with clinical details (SNOMED code 38341003 - Hypertension)
+<br>
+- Status information (Active)
+<br>
+- Dates (onset date: May 17, 2019)
+<br>
+
+This data structure is then processed by the generator to map to the configured FHIR resource.
+</details>
+
+### Section Configuration
+
+Sections make up the structure of a CDA document. The CDA parser uses `identifiers` in the section configuration file to determine which sections to extract and map to FHIR resources. Each section is identified by a template ID, code, or both:
+
+```yaml
+# Example section configuration
+cda:
+  sections:
+    problems:
+      identifiers:
+        template_id: "2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.1.11"
+        code: "11450-4"
+      resource: "Condition"
+```
+
+## Creating a Custom Parser
+
+You can create a custom parser by implementing a class that inherits from `BaseParser` and registering it with the engine (this will replace the default parser for the format type):
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+from healthchain.interop.config_manager import InteropConfigManager
+from healthchain.interop.parsers.base import BaseParser
+
+class CustomParser(BaseParser):
+    def __init__(self, config: InteropConfigManager):
+        super().__init__(config)
+
+    def from_string(self, data: str) -> dict:
+        # Parse the document and return structured data
+        return {"structured_data": "example"}
+
+# Register the custom parser with the engine
+engine = create_engine()
+engine.register_parser(FormatType.CDA, CustomParser(engine.config))
+```

+# Templates
+
+The HealthChain interoperability module uses a template system based on [**Liquid**](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/), an open-source templating language to generate healthcare data in various formats. This allows for flexible and customizable document generation on a syntactic level.
+
+## Template Directory Structure
+
+Templates are stored in the `configs/templates` directory by default. The directory structure follows a convention based on format and resource type:
+
+```
+templates/
+├── cda_fhir/
+│   ├── document.liquid
+│   ├── section.liquid
+│   ├── problem_entry.liquid
+│   ├── medication_entry.liquid
+│   └── allergy_entry.liquid
+├── cda_fhir/
+│   ├── condition.liquid
+│   ├── medication_statement.liquid
+│   └── allergy_intolerance.liquid
+├── hl7v2_fhir/
+│   ├── adt_a01.liquid
+│   ├── oru_r01.liquid
+│   └── obx_r01.liquid
+├── fhir_hl7v2/
+│   ├── patient_adt.liquid
+│   ├── encounter_adt.liquid
+│   └── observation_oru.liquid
+```
+Templates can be accessed through the `TemplateRegistry`:
+
+1. Using their full path within the template directory without extension as a key: `cda_fhir/document`
+2. Using just their stem name as a key: `document`
+
+Using full paths is recommended for clarity and to avoid confusion when templates with the same filename exist in different directories. However, both methods will work as long as template names are unique across all directories and matches the template name in the configuration files.
+
+## Default Templates
+
+HealthChain provides default templates for the transformation of Problems, Medications, and Allergies sections in a Continuity of Care (CCD) CDA to FHIR and the reverse. They are configured to work out of the box with the default configuration. You are welcome to modify these templates at your own discretion or use them as a starting reference point for your writing your own templates.
+
+| CDA Section | FHIR Resource |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| **Problems** | [**Condition**](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/condition.html) |
+| **Medications** | [**MedicationStatement**](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/medicationstatement.html) |
+| **Allergies** | [**AllergyIntolerance**](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/allergyintolerance.html) |
+| **Notes** | [**DocumentReference**](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/documentreference.html) |
+
+CDA to FHIR templates:
+
+| CDA Section | Default Template |
+|-------------|------------------|
+| **Problems** | `fhir_cda/problem_entry.liquid` |
+| **Medications** | `fhir_cda/medication_entry.liquid` |
+| **Allergies** | `fhir_cda/allergy_entry.liquid` |
+| **Notes** | `fhir_cda/note_entry.liquid` |
+
+FHIR to CDA templates:
+
+| Resource Type | Default Template |
+|---------------|------------------|
+| **Condition** | `cda_fhir/condition.liquid` |
+| **MedicationStatement** | `cda_fhir/medication_statement.liquid` |
+| **AllergyIntolerance** | `cda_fhir/allergy_intolerance.liquid` |
+| **DocumentReference** | `cda_fhir/document_reference.liquid` |
+
+## Template Format
+
+Templates use Python [**Liquid**](https://liquid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) syntax with additional custom filters provided by the interoperability module. Note that HealthChain uses [**xmltodict**](https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict) to parse and unparse XML documents into dictionaries and vice versa, therefore templates should be written in JSON format that is compatible with `xmltodict`. For more information, see the [Working with xmltodict in HealthChain](./xmltodict.md) guide (it's not that bad, I promise).
+
+Example template for a CDA to FHIR conversion:
+
+```liquid
+{
+  "act": {
+    "@classCode": "ACT",
+    "@moodCode": "EVN",
+    "templateId": [
+    {% for template_id in config.template.act.template_id %}
+      {"@root": "{{template_id}}"} {% if forloop.last != true %},{% endif %}
+    {% endfor %}
+    ],
+    {% if resource.id %}
+    "id": {"@root": "{{ resource.id }}"},
+    {% endif %}
+    "code": {"@nullFlavor": "NA"},
+    "statusCode": {
+      "@code": "{{ config.template.act.status_code }}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Using the Template System
+
+### Interoperability Engine API
+
+The Interoperability Engine API provides a high-level interface (`.to_fhir()` and `.from_fhir()`) for transforming healthcare data between different formats using templates.
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine, FormatType
+from healthchain.fhir import create_condition
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Create a FHIR resource
+condition = create_condition(
+  code="38341003",
+  system="http://snomed.info/sct",
+  display="Hypertension",
+  subject="Patient/123",
+  clinical_status="active"
+)
+
+# Generate CDA from FHIR resources
+cda_xml = engine.from_fhir([condition], dest_format=FormatType.CDA)
+
+# Generate FHIR from CDA
+fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(cda_xml, src_format=FormatType.CDA)
+```
+
+### Direct Template Access (Advanced)
+
+For advanced use cases, you can access the template system directly:
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Access the template registry
+registry = engine.template_registry
+
+# Get a template by name
+template = registry.get_template("cda_fhir/condition")
+```
+
+## Creating Custom Templates
+
+To create a custom template:
+
+1. Create a new file in the appropriate template directory. Use a descriptive name for the template, e.g. `cda_fhir/procedure.liquid`.
+2. Create a template using Python Liquid syntax with available filters if needed.
+3. Access source data properties using dot notation. (e.g. `entry.act.id`)
+4. Access configuration values (see [Configuration](./configuration.md)) using the `config` object.
+
+For example, to create a custom template to transform a CDA section into a FHIR Procedure resource:
+
+```liquid
+<!-- configs/templates/cda_fhir/procedure.liquid -->
+{
+  "procedure": {
+    "@classCode": "PROC",
+    "@moodCode": "EVN",
+    "templateId": {
+      "@root": "2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.1.29"
+    },
+    "id": {
+      "@root": "{{ entry.act.id | generate_id }}"
+    },
+    "code": {
+      "@code": "{{ entry.act.entryRelationship.observation.value['@code'] }}",
+      "@displayName": "{{ entry.act.entryRelationship.observation.value['@displayName'] }}",
+      "@codeSystem": "{{ entry.act.entryRelationship.observation.value['@codeSystem'] | map_system: 'fhir_to_cda' }}",
+    },
+    "statusCode": {
+      "@code": "{{ entry.act.statusCode['@code'] | map_status: 'fhir_to_cda' }}"
+    },
+    "effectiveTime": {
+      "@value": "{{ entry.act.effectiveTime['@value'] | format_date }}"
+    },
+    {% if entry.act.performer %}
+    "performer": {
+      "assignedEntity": {
+        "id": {
+          "@root": "{{ entry.act.performer[0].actor.reference }}"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    {% endif %}
+  }
+}
+```
+## Custom Template Filters
+
+The template system provides several custom filters for common healthcare document transformation tasks:
+
+| Filter | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `map_system` | Maps between CDA and FHIR code systems |
+| `map_status` | Maps between CDA and FHIR status codes |
+| `map_severity` | Maps between CDA and FHIR severity codes |

+<!-- Outputs: <div><p class="note">Hello</p></div> -->
+```
+For more information on using filters, see Liquid's [official documentation](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/basics/introduction/).
+
+### Adding Custom Filters
+
+You can add custom filters to the template system:
+
+```python
+from healthchain.interop import create_engine
+
+def custom_filter(value):
+    return f"CUSTOM:{value}"
+
+# Create an engine
+engine = create_engine()
+
+# Add a custom filter
+engine.template_registry.add_filter("custom", custom_filter)
+```

+# Working with xmltodict in HealthChain
+
+The HealthChain interoperability engine uses [xmltodict](https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict) to convert between XML and Python dictionaries. This guide explains key conventions to be aware of when working with the parsed data.
+
+*Why use `xmltodict`?* You say, *Why not use the `lxml` or `xml.etree.ElementTree` or some other decent library so you can work on the XML tree directly?*
+
+There are two main reasons:
+
+- HealthChain uses [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/) models for validation and type checking extensively, which works best with JSON-able data. We wanted to keep everything in modern Python ecosystem whilst still being able to work with XML, which is still a very common format in healthcare
+
+- Developer experience: it's just easier to work with JSON than XML trees in Python 🤷‍♀️
+
+The flow roughly looks like this:
+
+```bash
+XML ↔ Dictionary with @ prefixes ↔ Pydantic Model
+```
+
+Still with me? Cool. Let's dive into the key conventions to be aware of when working with the parsed data.
+
+## Key Conventions
+
+### Attribute Prefixes
+XML attributes are prefixed with `@`:
+```xml
+<code code="55607006" displayName="Problem"/>
+```
+becomes:
+```python
+{
+    "code": {
+        "@code": "55607006",
+        "@displayName": "Problem"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Text Content
+Text content of elements is represented with `#text`:
+```xml
+<displayName>Hypertension</displayName>
+```
+becomes:
+```python
+{
+    "displayName": "Hypertension"
+}
+```
+or for mixed content:
+```xml
+<text>Some <b>bold</b> text</text>
+```
+becomes:
+```python
+{
+    "text": {
+        "#text": "Some  text",
+        "b": "bold"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Lists vs Single Items
+A collection of elements with the same name becomes a list:
+```xml
+<component>
+  <section>...</section>
+</component>
+<component>
+  <section>...</section>
+</component>
+```
+becomes:
+```python
+{
+    "component": [
+        {"section": {...}},
+        {"section": {...}}
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### Force List Parameter
+When parsing, you can force certain elements to always be lists even when there's only one:
+```python
+xmltodict.parse(xml_string, force_list=('component', 'entry'))
+```
+
+### Namespaces
+Namespaces are included in element names:
+```xml
+<ns1:element xmlns:ns1="http://example.org">value</ns1:element>
+```
+becomes:
+```python
+{
+    "ns1:element": {
+        "@xmlns:ns1": "http://example.org",
+        "#text": "value"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Tips for Working with CDA Documents
+
+- Remember to use the `@` prefix for attributes
+- Always check if an element might be a list before accessing it directly
+- In Liquid, use `['string']` to access attributes with `@` prefixes. e.g. `act.entry.code['@code']`
+- When generating XML, make sure to include required namespaces

-# CDA Parser
-
-The `CdaAnnotator` class is responsible for parsing and annotating CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) documents. It extracts information about problems, medications, allergies, and notes from the CDA document into FHIR resources, and allows you to add new information to the CDA document.
-
-The CDA parser is used in the [CDA Connector](../pipeline/connectors/cdaconnector.md) module, but can also be used independently.
-
-[(CdaAnnotator API Reference)](../../api/cda_parser.md)
-
-## Usage
-
-### Parsing CDA documents
-
-Parse a CDA document from an XML string:
-
-```python
-from healthchain.cda_parser import CdaAnnotator
-
-with open("tests/data/test_cda.xml", "r") as f:
-    cda_xml_string = f.read()
-
-cda = CdaAnnotator.from_xml(cda_xml_string)
-
-conditions = cda.problem_list
-medications = cda.medication_list
-allergies = cda.allergy_list
-note = cda.note
-
-print([condition.model_dump() for condition in conditions])
-print([medication.model_dump() for medication in medications])
-print([allergy.model_dump() for allergy in allergies])
-print(note)
-```
-
-You can access data parsed from the CDA document in the `problem_list`, `medication_list`, `allergy_list`, and `note` attributes of the `CdaAnnotator` instance. They return a list of FHIR `Condition`, `MedicationStatement`, and `AllergyIntolerance` resources.
-
-### Adding new information to the CDA document
-
-The methods currently available for adding new information to the CDA document are:
-
-| Method | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `.add_to_problem_list()` | Adds a list of [FHIR Condition](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/condition.html) resources |
-| `.add_to_medication_list()` | Adds a list of [FHIR MedicationStatement](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/medicationstatement.html) resources |
-| `.add_to_allergy_list()` | Adds a list of [FHIR AllergyIntolerance](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/allergyintolerance.html) resources |
-
-The `overwrite` parameter in the `add_to_*_list()` methods is used to determine whether to overwrite the existing list or append to it. If `overwrite` is `True`, the existing list will be replaced with the new list. If `overwrite` is `False`, the new list will be appended to the existing list.
-
-Depending on the use case, you don't always need to return the original list of information in the CDA document you receive, although this is mostly useful if you are just developing and don't want the eye-strain of a lengthy CDA document.
-
-### Exporting the CDA document
-
-```python
-xml_string = cda.export(pretty_print=True)
-```
-
-The `pretty_print` parameter is optional and defaults to `True`. If `pretty_print` is `True`, the XML string will be formatted with newlines and indentation.
-
-## Example
-
-```python
-from healthchain.cda_parser import CdaAnnotator
-from healthchain.fhir import (
-    create_condition,
-    create_medication_statement,
-    create_allergy_intolerance,
-)
-
-with open("tests/data/test_cda.xml", "r") as f:
-    cda_xml_string = f.read()
-
-cda = CdaAnnotator.from_xml(cda_xml_string)
-
-new_problems = [
-    create_condition(subject="Patient/123", code="123456", display="New Problem")
-]
-new_medications = [
-    create_medication_statement(
-        subject="Patient/123", code="789012", display="New Medication"
-    )
-]
-new_allergies = [
-    create_allergy_intolerance(
-        patient="Patient/123", code="345678", display="New Allergy"
-    )
-]
-
-# Add new problems, medications, and allergies
-cda.add_to_problem_list(new_problems, overwrite=True)
-cda.add_to_medication_list(new_medications, overwrite=True)
-cda.add_to_allergy_list(new_allergies, overwrite=True)
-
-# Export the modified CDA document
-modified_cda_xml = cda.export()
-
-print(modified_cda_xml)
-
-```
-
-The CDA parser is a work in progress. I'm just gonna be real with you, CDAs are the bane of my existence. If you, for some reason, love working with XML-based documents, please get [in touch](https://discord.gg/UQC6uAepUz)! We have plans to implement more functionality in the future, including allowing configurable templates, more CDA section methods, and using LLMs as a fallback parsing method.

+    """Generic interoperability engine for converting between healthcare formats
+
+    The InteropEngine provides capabilities for converting between different
+    healthcare data format standards, such as HL7 FHIR, CDA, and HL7v2.
+
+    The engine uses a template-based approach for transformations, with templates
+    stored in the configured template directory. Transformations are handled by
+    format-specific parsers and generators that are lazily loaded as needed.
+
+    Configuration is handled through the `config` property, which provides
+    direct access to the underlying ConfigManager instance. This allows
+    for setting validation levels, changing environments, and accessing
+    configuration values.
+
+    The engine supports registering custom parsers, generators, and validators
+    to extend or override the default functionality.
+
+    Example:
+        engine = InteropEngine()
+
+        # Convert CDA to FHIR
+        fhir_resources = engine.to_fhir(cda_xml, src_format="cda")
+
+        # Convert FHIR to CDA
+        cda_xml = engine.from_fhir(fhir_resources, dest_format="cda")
+
+        # Access config directly:
+        engine.config.set_environment("production")
+        engine.config.set_validation_level("warn")
+        value = engine.config.get_config_value("cda.sections.problems.resource")

+        # Access the template registry:
+        template = engine.template_registry.get_template("cda_fhir/condition")
+        engine.template_registry.add_filter()
