Hi Pariya, It seems to me that you are exactly describing the use case for templates. Remember that the definition for an archetype is the maximal information model for a 'single' clinical concept. What you are describing above are most certainly separate concepts. The purposes and usage of slots is well defined in the archetype principles document.
