I have thought a little bit about teams etc, but have not investigated the use cases. In mosts cases medico-legally it is required that an individual be identified in any health activity. This demographic model is in its early stages, and we expect that it will need some changes to allow for a general typology of PARTYs. >For example: >Lets say that a clinician working at a given institution wants to prescribe >the patient to have an interview with the group-Nuero-5 ( one of the groups >of neurologists that analyze the need of internment), he may have a kind of >contact search engine in which he finds parties, in this case not a person >or organization but a group of people called 'group-Neuro-5'. > >If not, how does this example fit into the picture? > Hm - currently in all the situations we know of (e.g. Australia, sitautions in Europe to my knowledge, north america) - the identified party would have to be a registered provider - either they are a GP or else it is an organisation such as a clinic or hospital. How do you see a "group" of neurologists which is not a provider organisation - can you describe what its status in the health system is in more detail? - thomas beale - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
