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.
