Dear Pablo, This function originated from the need to support countersignature. There are a number of clinical documents that need to be signed by more than one person, such as a consent form, the report of an operation, or the authorisation to detain a person in a mental healthcare institution. When evolving to a more electronic solution for capturing consent, and other situations where a legal record of care decisions or actions might need more than one signature, we felt we should provide for the possibility that a composition might need to be attested by more than one person.
With best wishes, Dipak ________________________________________________________ Dipak Kalra Clinical Professor of Health Informatics Centre for Health Informatics and Multiprofessional Education University College London President, The EuroRec Institute Honorary Consultant, The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust, London On 14 Nov 2014, at 21:14, Thomas Beale <thomas.beale at oceaninformatics.com<mailto:thomas.beale at oceaninformatics.com>> wrote: Hi Pablo, yep, it's correct as it is - the model satisfies the use case where there can be more than on attestation. It was designed to deal with things like (from memory) a junior doc attesting, and later a more senior doc. These were clinical expert's requirements at the time, and someone like Dipak Kalra or Sam Heard would remember the exact situations it was designed for. On the second one, could you please post a problem here<http://www.openehr.org/issues/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SPECPR%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC>, so we don't forget it. thanks - thomas On 14/11/2014 19:09, pablo pazos wrote: I'm reviewing the versioning aspects of the IM for a new course I'm giving, and I'm not understanding why we need more than one attestation per ORIGINAL_VERSION. A composition shouldn't be signed by just one person? Also, I found a bug: 6.2.5. Contributions (in common_im page 41) attestation of item: a new ATTESTATION is added to the attestations list of an existing ORIGINAL_VERSION; the ATTESTATION.commit_audit.change_type is set to the code for ?attestation?. Should be VERSION.commit_audit_change_type. _______________________________________________ openEHR-technical mailing list openEHR-technical at lists.openehr.org<mailto:openEHR-technical at lists.openehr.org> http://lists.openehr.org/mailman/listinfo/openehr-technical_lists.openehr.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
