Hi I hope its all right to ask a few standards related question on this forum.
I wanted to know how different the openEHR and CEN Ref Models and Archetypes are from each other at a logical level. Is it necessary to understand the CEN stds if working with openEHR stds? In particular, is it important to know the CEN13606 archetypes if working with openEHR archetypes. At a logical level what are the differences between the two? Another topic area that alludes my understanding is a clear parallel/possible relationship of HL7 Templates and the use of 'templates' in openEHR archetypes (the later concept I am very clear about.. its the HL7 view of templates Im not sure of). It'll just help in my understanding of hl7 templates w.r.t. archetypes, as parallels are often drawn between the two. Will look forward to responses.
