Dear Tim,
Following on Heathers email, I only wanted to stress the importance
of bullet number 1: "after creating archetypes, now what?"
But I fear that my "now what?" is rather different.
I may not be completely up-to-speed, but I would say that the
software released in openEHR, to date, does not allow to manage actual
clinical data which adheres to these hundreds of archetypes available in
the repository. I mean making persistent clinical data, which adheres to
those archetypes, through the openEHR implementation. The persistent
layer does not exist yet, or am I mistaken?
A few months ago I was working on the java implementation of
openEHR, and I exchanged a few emails with Rong.
For people to be able to test and be interested in using openEHR, or
another "two-level modeling" paradigm implementation for that matter,
they need to be able to see it, and without the persistence layer, they
can not see something actually somewhat usable (I'm sure it?s very
_useful_, it?s just not _usable_ right now).
A very simple "hello world" example, showing the whole life cycle of
a very, very simple EHR is essential, I believe. If it has been created
over that last few months and I missed, please correct me.
Best regards,
Jes?s Bisbal
