Hi there,
In our project, clinicians-who work in the area of oral medicine- use
an online form editor that help them create forms based on their
experiences any time needed.
It means that each clinician can create his/her own questionnaires.
(experiences in this project showed that they are eager to have their
own protocol including questionnaires and data they may access )there
are some forms, or templates that are more general including questions
like this one named GENERAL MEDICAL HISTORY
Do you consider yourself healthy?
Do you currently suffer from any disease or illness?
Have you previously suffered from any disease or illness?
Do you currently use any medication?
Have you had treatment with Steroids during the last year?
Do you have any skin problem?
....
Also we have other kinds of forms like SALIVARY GLAND DISEASE
What areas were examined?
What is the color of the skin/mucosa covering the salivary gland?
Are there any signs of muscositis?
.....
(I shows that there are two kinds of questions, one may be asked
patient, one is for clinician herself to show what to examine or... )
well, There are some unsolved problems in my mind regarding these
questions and the possibility to create Archetypes or Templates for
these questionnaires like the one above.
1- Is this an appropriate design way for Archetypes to create
Archetypes based on questions or actions that one may ask or may do
during visit or treatment?
2- Can I map these questionnaires to Archetypes or they are more like
Templates?
3- I have this methodology in my mind when I try to map things to
openEHR concepts
- What are the specifications on the disease I want to present ,
symptoms, signs, related guidelines,...(general knowledge about disease)
- Which questions may I ask when a patient visits me? general patient
data, patient medical history,...
- Is there any protocol for data gathering?
- What kind of treatments I may suggest, or any more data do I need?
any related laboratory tests ?
Finally, is it a proper way to think of creating an Archetype for a
specific disease?I know that I should first search for existing
Archetypes and combine them to create Templates, but what if I cannot
find any suitable Archetype for my case?
I should mention that all these efforts is to create a CDSS for a
specific disease, so I need to be more specific in knowledge or data
gathering.
