Will we start to patch up something that has intrinsic problems? Do you remember the recent discussions on the OpenEHR list. My conclusion was that they don't know the definitions of the major classes of the RIM and other technicalities. Luckily OpenEHR / 13606 is not deployed that widely, so there are not much legacy systems to reckon with? Or will we start from a more sound starting point. One that is an International standard and is on its way to become an ISO standard as well? Of course this reversion is just to point to the fact that we are apparently back in our corners and have this dispute that is nonsence and not contributing. I am the last to tell that HL7 v3 is perfect, but will be one of the firsts to tell it is working. I am the last to believe OpenEHR / 13606 is perfect, and wait till I see it work in real practice. In the meantime, we have harmonized and differences (few) and commonalties (biljons) have been determined. In the meantime, we will start working with existing tools, set requirements and improve the tools. I do not care where the tools come from, I care what they can do for the very difficult work of entering, storing and exchanging information about patients and care in a intelligent, semantic interoperable way. I do like HL7 v3 D-MIMs because I see several good working EHR systems based on this. To me, beside philosophical problems (fundamental to limits in human thinking), and technical approaches, it really does not make a difference: make the clinical materials available electronically and make clinicians not have to worry about the technology and transformations behind. Any discussion in favour of one and against another approach is going back to the trenches of WW1 where we would like to work towards the future.
