+1 I think you're about to hit the right spot, it seems to be very near to THE solution for interoperability & reuse at a model level. Learning from the Internet approach (the biggest example of interoperability in the world, that actualy works) the multi-component or multi-layered idea seems the right idea: having a common core for layer 1, a bussiness layer with EHRs, ... seems just right. Another big advantage of this approach is the gradual implementation capability: I can implement & certify a layer 1 implementation, then implement layer 2, ...

This is something I discussed with Thomas some time ago, it would be one of the best harmonisation solutions, but probably with a slightly different interpretation. Since 13606 has more generic classes (eg. the generic ENTRY can represent all of OBSERVATION, EVALUATION, INSTRUCTION, ACTION), instead of 13606 being a subset of openEHR I think that openEHR should be a specialized model of 13606. Obviously this would require a deep analysis and changes of the models, but that could be the idea. I don't care about the linguistics of subset / specialisation etc, I just care about getting one model.... - thomas although - it will probably come out to have multiple entry points. The 13606 model is about what makes sense in EHR Extract messages. We built and implemented a more recent version of that, using lessons from 13606 - the openEHR EHR Extract. There are undoubtedly a lot of lessons from 13606 Extract use out there (there must be because nearly everyone implements the standard by changing, so that says something!). However, other parts of openEHR are concerned with the logical semantics of in situ EHRs, not just messages travelling between systems. So I think there could be a common core, an EHR part and an EHR Extract part. Having one standard for that would be hugely useful for industry. - thomas _______________________________________________ openEHR-technical mailing list openEHR-technical at lists.openehr.org http://lists.openehr.org/mailman/listinfo/openehr-technical_lists.openehr.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
