Where do we start? I would think you could supply some use cases of data structures required to represent diagnostic information for various typical situations - this is what we need to consider in order to work out what to do in the EHR. >At IBM Research we have been working intensively with a research center in >Canada (iCapture) where mass clinical and genomic data were correlated to >explore lung and hurt diseases (see InfoWorld article at >http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/03/26/HNicapture_1.html). >Thanks, >Amnon. > > - thomas > > - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
