Hi, I've started working on an EHR project at national level in my country. The people here knows only about HL7 and IHE, but OpenEHR is not so popular. I've been follow OpenEHR since 2006, when with Rodrigo Filgueira we made a prototype of an ICU system with the OpenEHR Information Model.
This is the first email of a list of emails I have to send to you to make a correct evaluation of OpenEHR and to have solid information to propose it to my coleagues on the project (I don't make the decisions so I need to convince my coleagues). I think OpenEHR has very good ideas and concepts and it's reasonably stable and mature, but some issues are not so clear or not so mature (IMHO), now I can think of two things: the template specification and template tools and archetype/template versioning. Later I'll ask you about these subjects, know I need some words about another subject. At this time, we are making a prototype of a Master Patient Index system, at this time the only specifications and standards that are over the table are IHE (the PIX profile) and HL7 for messaging. I need to know what is the experience on this subject using OpenEHR (I know that Ocean Informatics has its own MPI system, is it based on OpenEHR IM and AOM?), if someone has build an MPI please leave some lines on the subject: what problems do you have? what archetypes do you use? etc etc. I want to propose something like the IHE transactions but implemented with OpenEHR messages based on demographic archetypes (something like the Patient Administration domain of HL7, that defines messages with demographic data). I see that here http://www.openehr.org/clinicalmodels/archetypes.html are some demographic archetypes but the links are broken. Are this archetypes stable? are them complete? (they have all the demographic data that is needed: ids, names, contact mediums, address or some kind of geo-referenced location, etc, etc). Please drop me a line on these subjects, thanks a lot! Cheers, Pablo. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
