Dear Dipak there were many questions concerning 13606 on this mailing list so I will also post my questions here. YET wouldn?t it be possible to host an own mailinglist via openEHR for CEN 13606. (compared to technical/implementers). It doesn?t feel right to bother you and the openEHR community with every small question concerning CEN 13606. It would be great to share Information with the CEN community without feeling guilty when posting at the wrong place.
looking at the example in Annex C of prEN13606-1 some questions arouse. ENTRY rc_id.extension = 0251: this ENTRY has attributes based on committal. Shouldn?t these attributes be based on the feeder_audit? Shouldn?t "committal.ehr_sytem.extension" be named feeder_audit.ehr_system.extension? Nearly all the elements of the revision (second part of the example) are copied from another part of the EHR. Why do only some have the original_parent_ref attribute? (prEN13606-1 p.39). Why does for example the ELEMENT rc_id.extension= 0251 not contain an original_parent_ref? Is it a restriction of the (imaginary) information model, that created the ehr_extract or of the 13606-1 standard to update the COMPOSITION (rc_id = 213) and ENTRY (rc_id=251)? Or would it also be allowed to update ONLY the ELEMENT (rc_id=258) where the actual change took place?? ELEMENT (rc_id=258): why does this element not have the attribute previous_version from the AUDIT_INFO (13606-1 p.46)? This element is a revision of rc_id=158. It is the only element where change took place. Why is it not indicated directly in this element?
