Hi All, It seems like a good idea to be able to distinguish records based upon whether or not they are associated with a clinical trial. One might even want to access only those records associated with clinical trial, and, of course, specifically clinical trials.
As an extension, one might be interested only in records that might be of interest, or are known to be of interest, to a Public Health Group, e.g., SARs and special circumstances or events (cases arising during the military operations in Iraq). It seems analogous to stamping a passport, need a stamp at certain times and need a record of such events. This in turn suggests a need for updates based on parallel record-keeping, e.g., periodic shots to keep one healthy. When a record is accessed an automatic check is made and an entry created if there is a need to take some action. There must be other conditions that should prompt an update. Appreciate comments/suggestions. -Thomas Clark P.S.: I am notified periodically when my dogs require periodic shots! - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
