Regarding the ISO 18308 conformance requirement STR2.16 in issue 1.5 which 
states: 
"The EHRRA must be amenable to querying for the purpose of data aggregation to 
support information gathering required for population and public health 
initiatives, surveillance, and reporting. 

The artefact states:
"openEHR EHR RM & archetypes:Archetypes provide the basis for formulating 
intelligent queries. As long as information which is of interest in population 
queries (e.g. lifestyle, chronic disease etc) has been stored using archetypes 
in the first place, very efficient querying is possible, based on the use of 
paths extracted from archetypes. "

Aggregate data collection is needed as the input for actions defined in Pro 
1.11, 1.12 and 1.17, so for optimum assessment of healthcare, archetypes should 
be mandated for *all* diseases, care modes, procedures, treatment, etc. Section 
2 covers this in more detail, but the example in STR 12.16 artefact implies a 
restriction.

Colin Sutton
