All this is precisely the reason for EuroRec (the European Institute  
for Health Records) to develop:
- an Archetype Repository
- an Archetype Inventory
- plus a Quality Control Service.

We do this in an European project: Q-Rec.
Francois Mennerat is leading this task.

We could perform this task for others as well.

With regards,

Gerard Freriks
