Hello All, been doing a bit of work (with help from Ian McNicoll) on an OpenEHR template for surgical pre-operative assessment.

You can view the results of my efforts (and Ian's) here :

https://github.com/johngrant4est/surgical_preassessment

and I'm not sure how this works in terms of sharing but the working repo is here :

https://ehrscape.marand.si/designerv2/#/designer/repos/surgical_preassessment

The template is being built in the form of a Report, which sort of matches the real world, in as much as someone does the assessment which is then made available as a report.

I have 2 challenges currently :

1. How to group the concepts of Biometrics, Physiological variables e.g. Vital Signs and Investigation Results e.g. labs, radiology. These all feel as though they should be grouped somehow as part of the assessment but there is a conflict (in my head) between the archetypes for investigations_results and exam findings. Is NIBP an investigation or an exam finding ? I appreciate that the line between these concepts is a bit blurred.

2. How to model the typical systematic enquiry when taking a history relevant for peri-op care, e.g. how to record the presence of angina, hypertension, heart failure, murmurs and group them under "Cardiovascular".

Any thoughts ?

Cheers

Grant
