Hi Karsten, Appreciate the posting! I would like to see this and similar projects expanded and globalized.
Would really like to see non-prescription and herbal medicines integrated as well. The Open-source developer community should start such a project (e.g., sourceforge.net). Another suggestion would be a project to perform Quality Assurance on these drug databases, since the Healthcare Community seems to presume correctness. Just more rambling! -Thomas Clark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karsten Hilbert" <[email protected]> To: <openehr-technical at openehr.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 4:50 AM Subject: Re: Encoding concept-relationships in openehr archetypes. > Thomas, > > > DRUG DATABASES > > > Electronic prescription is an area of interest.
