Dear all Another issue that is coming up at the moment. In the EHR recording or clinical models ontology I have proposed that all allergies be recorded under the ehr://persistent transactions (Fld)/Therapeutic precaustions (Tx)/Known allergies (Org) as openEHR.evaluation.allergies. The issue is how do we know that the organiser is empty because the patient has been asked about this?
I would propose that we have an 'Empty' entry that is generic and can be used to show that any organiser in the openEHR record is known to be empty - then we will know who put it there and when. I suggest that the empty entry allows a return string of type DV_TEXT (ie plain or coded) to state the situation - in this case it might be "No Known allergies". Comments?
