I have an Archetype question on openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.exam.v1 The archetype appears to be designed such that the findings can only be expressed with a limited set of attributes - color, location, shape, etc. - things specific to the archetypes Inspection, Auscultation, Percussion and Palpation
This is the hierarchy (or part of it) exam -- normal statements ----- normal statement -- clinical description -- findings ----- detail --------- exam-generic exam-generic -- object -- normal statements ----- normal statement -- clinical description -- findings ----- inspection ----- auscultation ----- percussion ----- palpation --------- detail ------------- exam-generic inspection -- findings ----- color description ----- location ----- shape or distribution ----- edge ----- translucent ----- detail --------- exam What I was hoping to find was a free text clinical description under findings that could be used in lieu of the specialized archetypes i.e. -- normal statements ----- normal statement -- clinical description -- findings ----- findings description <<<<<------------------------ ----- detail --------- exam-generic thanks!
