Thank you Thomas and Ian!

This is indeed a national requirement, and one where we do need to represent 
the chosen value in a coded text element. The background here is an entry in 
the critical information part of the national summary record, ie an adverse 
reaction, complication from anaesthesia, critical condition, ongoing treatment, 
implant, change of treatment routine, or infection. Each of these will be 
either an EVALUATION.adverse_reaction_risk, EVALUATION.problem_diagnosis, or 
EVALUATION.precaution. The patient’s GP normally records the information, and 
this code set is supposed to be used to specify where the GP got the 
information about each of the entries from.

Subject: Re: Use of RM:provider

Hi Silje,

I would agree with your and Thomas's assessment. This codeset does not really 
fit with provider, or indeed with any other RM attributes, although many but 
not all of these items could be calculated/ derived from existing attributes.

I guess this is part of a national requirement, and is a similar issue to the 
one we faced in Sweden, where the V-TIM standard was largely aligned with 
openEHR but had some extra specific metadata around Contsys-2 that needed to be 
captured.

This was exactly the purpose for the Extension slot that we are adding to new 
archetypes, so that would be my suggestion. Having said that, I do wonder about 
the purpose of this data -where is the value, over and above what is already 
captured by native openEHR RM. This feels like largely a derived set of data 
for reporting purposes

e,g,



1. Result of test/analysis

We know that from the archetype name

2.       Observed by treating physician

Captured potentially by provider

3.       Patient’s own information
Party = Self

4.       Information from next of kin
Party = carer

5.       Obtained from other records

Can use Feed_audit but practically very difficult to manage.

6.       Other

7.       Reported by responsible clinician

Captured by composer

Can you tell us more about the background?

Hi Silje,

there is no immediate equivalent of these codes, which have indirect 
equivalents, i.e.

  1.  Result = OBSERVATION; provider = lab; limited to certain archetypes; also 
comes under SOAP 'O' Heading
  2.  Observed by physician = OBSERVATION, provider = PARTY_IDENTIFIED 
(physician); limited to certain archetypes; also comes under SOAP 'O' Heading
  3.  Patient information = OBSERVATION, with provider = PARTY_SELF, possibly 
limited to specific archetypes ; also comes under SOAP 'S' heading
  4.  Info from next of kin = OBSERVATION, with provider = PARTY_IDENTIFIED 
(next of kin)
  5.  Info from other records = any ENTRY, with FEEDER_AUDIT set appropriately
  6.  ??
  7.  Reported by responsible clinician could be 1, 2, most EVALUATIONs, 
most/all INSTRUCTIONs some or many ACTIONs; provider = PARTY_IDENTIFIED 
(clinician)

I'd say it can be mostly set by using ENTRY.provider. 5 is a different thing - 
it's about provenance of data obtained from elsewhere. Presumably 6 means 'not 
any of 1-5 or 7'.

I'd also say it isn't a very well designed code-set, and I don't know what use 
it would be in real life...

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a problem about where to put non-identifying information about the 
source of information for an ENTRY. The value set we need to store is the code 
set identified by the OID 2.16.578.1.12.4.1.7498 (Source of information), as 
following:


1.       Result of test/analysis

2.       Observed by treating physician

3.       Patient’s own information

4.       Information from next of kin

5.       Obtained from other records

6.       Other

7.       Reported by responsible clinician

Our first hypothesis was that the reference model element “provider” should be 
used for this, but then someone pointed out that the “provider” should be an 
identifiable person or entity, and not just a generalised coded text like this. 
So, where should this information go, if not in RM:provider?
