Hi Paul!

Yes, this is part of the openEHR specification LINK class 
(https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/RM/latest/docs/common.html#_link_class),
 and it needs to be handled by the application. I know DIPS has started using 
this in some functional areas like their hospital care plan module, but I don’t 
remember the details. Maybe someone from DIPS can elaborate.

Mvh.

Subject: Problem orientation in OpenEHR

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!!
