Hi Erik,

So the basic distinction between ADMIN_ENTRY and the clinical entry types would 
be lost. This feels strange to me, to be using the same CARE_ENTRY class for 
clinical and non-clinical entries.

I'm particularly nervous that EVALUATION, the product of an important step in 
patient care, would disappear into the same class as administrative entries. 
Apart from not feeling nice when I look at a class diagram, mightn't this have 
the practical consequence of making it difficult to write AQL queries to search 
for clinical evaluations? Maybe not ... in AQL, you normally select from some 
archetype by its id, which includes the concept as well as the class ... so it 
would be select from openEHR-EHR-CARE_ENTRY.risk.v1, instead of select from 
openEHR-EHR-EVALUATION.risk.v1. I'm not sure whether it's even possible to 
select from all evaluations without mentioning their concepts.
