How would we do this?

There is a method of implementation in problem oriented records whereby a
header, generally the ‘problem’, is linked to other record entries or
elements that are to do with that problem.

So ‘chest pain’ as a problem may be linked to blood tests, clinical notes,
ECG, CXR and medications that were ordered or reported as part of the work
up of that condition.

In interfaces this allows for views of the record showing the Problem and
all linked events/entries/data. It’s essentially what Larry Weed used to
talk about.

Of course things may relate to more than one Problem, Problems may link to
each other, Problem headers and content will change over time. There is
usually a fair amount of manual curation, which may be very contextual, but
theoretical a lot of it could be automated.

By modelling this linkage in data it would become computable, and
potentially make some clinicians very happy in their work!

Is this something that is part of openEHR specification or that can be
modelled in archetypes? Or is it down to the application to manage this?

Thanks for any help.  As always slightly anxious that am missing something
completely obvious, so apologies if so!!
