Hello All,

We are making incredible progress with the openEHR framework!  Recently 
we faced a requirement to create patient-facing data capture tools. 
Unfortunately we can't seem to find a place in the openEHR model where 
these types of propositions fit cleanly.

For example if I have a patient intake form that has the question, "Do 
you have diabetes?"  Obviously the patient's answer to the question 
could be modeled as an observation of "diabetes" mapped by the 
DV_CODED_TEXT datatype to SNOMED or ICD.  However what I don't 
understand is how the proposition "Do you have diabetes?" should be 
modeled?

Should a "diabetes" archetype have a proposition field where a question 
can be stored as a string?  How would multiple perspectives be modeled 
(i.e. question to patient, question to doctor, question to family 
member, etc.)?

Your assistance in helping me understanding this issue is greatly 
appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Matias
