Dear all I have been reviewing the subject of care - over family history. It is clear that the following information is potentially useful:
1. The name of the person so you can refer to them as so-and-so 2. The relationship (father, mother) this might or might not include their genetic relationship (adoptive) - at present I have this in the genetic relationship boolean value of the family history problem. I think this is the most appropriate as it is the only time when it is essential to know it?? 3. The ID of the person in the demographic server - allowing contact details etc. Can others think of other issues with identifying the subject of an entry in the EHR - (not the ehr itself!) Times when this is likely are around the birth of a child and for family history problems.
