Hi Tim,
I thought I was being fair- it seems from the openEHR site and all the trials done so far openEHR is intended for the Ambulatory / GP market - I am not aware of many concrete plans to use it for HIS systems at this point, albeit I acknowledge the possibility. Of course it may also be useful in your public health domain.
The fact that this is the target is clear from the list of commercial providers to me - and does raise the issue of how the archetype data-base / descriptions etc are to be served to the systems in the field and at the coal face..a topic I have been asking about and getting few clear answers on.
From my rudimentary understanding of archetypes it seems to me that even the records for a simple general practice may need many hundreds when you think of all the possible observations, test results, clinical findings etc involved. Each of which has to be designed, validated, normalised against what already exists, maintained and version controlled. This exercise will not be free I should not imagine. Some one will pay...guess who?
Cheers
David

It is clearly not the goal of the openEHR project to create a better GP clinical informations system. The aim is surely to create a better data infrastructure upon which such a GP system might be built. They are working towards that, albeit in a painstaking and hence painstakingly slow manner, but there are several other parts of the puzzle which need to be addressed before a (much) better GP clinical mousetrap can be built. > > Tim C > > > __________ NOD32 1.1351 (20060103) Information __________ > > This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. > http://www.eset.com |
