Hi
For that example, you should use a section archetype to group the physical
examination and lab results archetypes together within
A symptoms and signs heading. The key thing to understand is that these
headings, though useful for humans, have no semantic value and should not
normally be referenced when querying.
We make a lot of use of a simple 'Ad-hoc' Section archetype that can be
renamed at template level to match local requirements.
So something like
COMPOSITION.Encounter.v1 "Oral medicine clinic"
SECTION.Adhoc.v1 "Status and Signs"
SECTION.Adhoc.v1 "Lab Values"
OBSERVATION.lab_test-glucose.v1
OBSERVATION.lab_test-fbc.v1
SECTION. Adhoc.v1 "Physical Exams"
OBSERVATION.exam-mouth.v1
SECTION.Adhoc.v1 "Conclusions"
EVALUATION.problem-diagnosis.v1
Again, just to stress that the Section headers should not convey any
querying semantics, they are there purely to assist human navigation.

Hi Ian,Thanks for your response.
In my case, I intend to use some existing Archetypes in my own observation.
Having one Cluster/section named Status and Signs, I want to put two
existing archetypes named Observation: Laboratory Values and
Observation:Physical Examination into that. Re-factoring existing
archetypes, in this case, doesn't make sense since eliminates the benefits
of reusing existing archetypes.

Hi Pariya,
No, it is not possible to nest Observations within slots. The allowable
classes for slots are determined by the reference model. There were good
reasons for setting this restriction, as allowing nested ENTRY classes
intoduces all sorts of complications around the context of the observation,
but it can sometimes seem awkward when creating models. In my experience, it
is usually straightforward to work around the restriction by refactoring the
observation which requires to be nested, as a CLUSTER archetype.
Can you give a specific example?
