Hi, thanks for your replies everyone! I think the function attribute is 
sufficient for our use case, as the focus is on what the person did. Their 
profession/credentials can be provided by an external knowledge base.

BTW, I tried looking this up using the UML link from the CKM, which led me 
here: 
http://www.openehr.org/releases/1.0.1/reference-models/openEHR/UML/HTML/Browsable/_9_0_76d0249_1109066119163_537311_2210Report.html.
 I then tried to follow the List<PARTICIPATION> link to 
http://www.openehr.org/releases/1.0.1/reference-models/openEHR/UML/HTML/Browsable/_9_5_76d0249_1118914287896_171737_4134Report.html,
 which gave me a 404.

Mvh.
Silje

Hi David,

I think your approach is perfectly valid but I suspect would impose an overhead 
of complexity that is not always justified or necessary.

In the original lab system the kind of individual entry tracking you suggest is 
probably required to facilitate workflow but by the time it hits the ehr, that 
level of granularity is not needed IMO.

Another good example of the way the health data is summarised and compressed as 
it passes through the system.

Both approaches are valid IMO.

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.

Hi both

Agreed.

Role = pathologist
Function = macroscopic histopath examination.

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). It may be that you want to state a 'role' 
as well, i.e. to say that a certain kind of person is required, and then use 
function to state the actual function that person is supposed to do in the 
particular activity in question.
I would have expected 'function' to be sufficient for your example - just use 2 
x other_participations on the OBSERVATION.

An example of needing both could be something like:

  *   role = nurse
  *   function = foley catheterisation

Currently 'role' is only known in the demographic model, i.e. on the other side 
of the PARTY_PROXY.external_ref link. It may make sense to add a role attribute 
to PARTICIPATION at some point if we need to distinguish the type of person 
(qualification) from what they do in the activity.

Hi,

We’re wondering if it’s possible to specify what the role was of each instance 
of Participation in an OBSERVATION archetype? For instance in a histopathology 
result the macroscopic description will often be performed by a different 
person from the microscopic description. We’re thinking both will be listed 
using participation, but we need to be able to document which person did what.

Kind regards,
