Hi Joaquin,

openEHR archetype/template Repositories

openEHR Foundation www.openehr.org/knowledge

re Malaria and Tuberculosis - it depends exactly what you mean. There
is a problem-diagnosis archetype which might capture some of the
required information (making use of a terminology) but I suspact there
may be other disease-specific monitoring/ therapy information which
would be treated distinctly.

in openEHR we try to create small information components which can be
shared throughout and between systems, rather than necessarily
directly mirroring a specific dataset

e.g. for TB we might use

A Problem-diagnosis archetype for the original diagnosis details
A Medication archetype to describe therapy past/current
A Review archetype to handle follow-up
A Microbiology archetype to handle lab results

In use these would be brought together in a single template, which
better reflects the use-case for TB, but we can use all of the same
archetypes for malaria but using a different template.

I have just found the openMRS TB module at
https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/MDR-TB+Module+User+Guide

and will try and find a little time to work out how we might approach
this with openEHR. The main thing to note with this approach is that
it takes longer to do the 'first module' but each subsequent module is
easier, and faster to model.
