Hi Greg, the new ones, based on ISO 22220, made by Rigoleta Dutra and Sergio Freire in Brazil will replace any of those early ones. I think they are still messing around with them a bit before putting them on CKM. Initially, they don't have a GUI editor tool, and have to be edited by hand in ADL (one of the reasons we took the trouble to make sure ADL was human-readable). > > You are not saying an AQL query for > > Women over 50 - 70, last mammogram > 2 years > > cannot be supported because demographics are not relevant? it already can, regardless of demographics, because such clinically relevant data as date of birth and sex are recorded in the EHR anyway - you would not attempt to do a join across EHR and demographic services to answer that query. Although, if you had a service more oriented to demographics + admin events, you could potentially satisfy this query on it; however, in general, clinical queries will refer to a mixture of basic data like age, sex, maybe occupation (where relevant to health) etc, as well as the 'hard' clinical data; they would normally be run on an EHR containing this data. - thomas beale
