As a point of interest, the "required" narrative section in CCD was an interim step because we (US) still have a number of sites that cannot accommodate structured data. In my opinion it does not imply correctness.

We were very wary of this CDA style duplication, which from my point of view is pretty ambiguous if not downright problematic<http://wolandscat.net/2012/01/28/the-cda-dual-content-conundrum/>. However, unless we develop some new formal relationship between the text and the structured part for orders and prescriptions - something which to do properly I think is probably a PhD thesis level of work - then for now we have to accept this bit of 'duplication' and understand it for what it is. A lot of work has been done in the UK in this area, and it may be that there is an answer already available - if anyone has information on it, would be useful to share. - thomas On 29/10/2013 11:48, Diego Bosc? wrote: The thing is that this reminds me to the CDA narrative part, which is the only "required" part. If I remember correctly, the only part that can be assumed right is the narrative. But as openEHR gives a lot of weight to the structured part, then it could be other way around. And by the way, I also agree that "none" is a correct answer :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
