Hi, I'm not sure if this is a correct approach. What in the example you call a function can be in fact a full Action that is being done. That is, if the function is so relevant that you can even assign a dedicated participant to it, it should be also enough important to be represented and documented as an individual entry of the EHR: coded, with start and end times, etc. If the case is that a complex procedure is composed by other simpler procedures, then we should document and link all of them.
I see the case of Silje from a different perspective. What she is asking is if we can document the participants of each Element inside the Entry. So far this is not possible, as Entries have been always seen as a whole clinical statement, with all participants assigned to that level. 2016-11-23 20:47 GMT+01:00 Ian McNicoll <i...@freshehr.com>: > Hi both > > Agreed. > > Role = pathologist > Function = macroscopic histopath examination. > > Ian. > On Wed, 23 Nov 2016 at 17:32, Thomas Beale <thomas.be...@openehr.org> > wrote: > >> Hi Silje, >> >> The PARTICIPATION class >> <http://www.openehr.org/releases/RM/latest/docs/common/common.html#_overview_3> >> has a codable attribute 'function' for this purpose (calling it 'function' >> rather than 'role' came from 13606).
