Hi

Regarding

A set of generic patterns:
There is for example a generic CLUSTER to be used for examinations: 
https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/#showArchetype_1013.1.2017
In the international CKM there is also a variety of other ENTRY archetypes to 
be inspired by. I strongly believe there is a lot of other good archetypes out 
there, but have never been uploaded to the int'nat CKM. That's a pity.

Guicance/Handbook:
I had an idea (with my colleague Hallvard Lærum) to write the book "The 
Ultimate And Final Guidance To Make Perfect Archetypes – The Draft". ☺ 
Unfortunately, that's not possible. The variety of concepts are far to broad, 
and the knowledge is ever expanding. But it's a good idea to make a basic 
guidance – available online. Who will finance this? I'm sure we can make it.

On the other hand, there has been training courses in Norway, UK and Germany 
during the last years, and they could (and should?) be available as streaming 
online. Again: Who will finance and do this?

Online official certification courses could also be available online, 
preferably through openEHR Foundation. Any money for this anywhere?

Today, there is both this clinical list available for asking questions. Could 
be used more pinpointed to concrete archetype design questions.
Also there is a Slack channel, where modelers can post questions and discuss 
design issues.

In my experience, making good archetypes is nothing that can be done in 
solitude. You need input from the community, and deep knowledge of existing 
archetypes to be able to make reasonable new ones. I'm afraid of leaving too 
much to local medical professionals.

Hi,

Imho the grass-roots editors need to (as you write)
- A set of generic patterns to start with. Patterns for any: Observation, 
Evaluation, Order, Action, for use in documentation of Medical aspects  and 
Administrative aspects about the Patient System.
Including generic concepts like (Diff) Diagnosis Lists, Episodes, (Family, 
Social, …) History, Problem List, Orderlist, ActionList, …
- Guidance, handbook, on how to use the patterns
- Model one set of coherent archetypes dealing with a clinical 
domain/speciality (such as: medication, physical exam eyes, ENS, breast exam, 
clinical pathway, …)

The generic Patterns need to be created, maintained by IT-modelling experts.
The medical professions need to model and maintain the Archetype packages.
Local healthcare providers will create Templates to be used in their context.

A few thoughts come to mind:

  *   sets of archetypes could potentially be developed closer to completion by 
the grass-roots level, before submission to CKM, which would reduce editorial 
time, if better guidelines on development rules, patterns, etc i.e. the fabled 
handbook existed

     *   consider a set such as for ante-natal care + birth + post-natal (6 
weeks) - there might be 50 archetypes implicated here, with (we hope) at least 
half being generic (e.g. lab tests used in pregnancy are mostly not unique to 
pregnancy) - there is a lot of work here.

  *   It might be a better approach if development teams were to try to develop 
whole packages to a reasonable level, rather than just submitting single 
archetypes and wait for results of review

     *   whole package generally would be based on some process, care pathway 
etc, not just a data-oriented view. E.g. pregnancy; chemo+ monitoring; etc

  *   if the fabled handbook of patterns and criteria for good archetypes 
existed, more editors could be trained.



  *   is there any reason not to have just more people on the editorial group, 
e.g. 10?
  *   is it time to agree a set of major clinical sub-specialties (< 20) and 
designate an owner for each one (i.e. an editor; some editors could own more 
than one area)?
  *   we possibly need to distinguish two layers of archetypes, which would 
potentially change how editorial work is done:

Level three is the Template level for the local context.


     *   generic all-of-medicine archetypes:

        *   vital signs
        *   many signs and symptoms
        *   a reasonable number of labs
        *   general purpose assessment / evaluations, i.e. Dx, problem 
description etc, many things like lifestyle, substance use
        *   ?all of the persistent managed list types: medications, allergies, 
problem list, family history, social situation, consents, etc

     *   the specialties, for each:

        *   specific signs and symptoms
        *   specific physical exam
        *   specific labs
        *   specific plans

     *   more than one relationship between specialty archetypes and generic 
ones is possible, e.g. some are just new; some are formal specialisations in 
the ADL sense.
My guess is there is a number of issues to consider. Whether any of the above 
are the main ones I don't know.
