I noticed the recent version of the REST api only works with templates, and not archetypes.
As our EHR is ADL 2 only, this has some interesting consequences. Of course, you can upload just the operational templates and probably create a fully functional EHR, but if you work with ADL 2, you would always need an external tool to create the OPT2 from the ADL repository that you want to use, instead of an EHR that generates the OPT2s from the source archetypes itself. Of course, you could just use the ADL workbench or the Archie adlchecker command-line utility to do it for you, but I’m not sure if it’s a nice thing to do. Also if you only use OPT2, you might want to do queries such as ‘retrieve all information that is stored in an EHR that has been derived from archetype with id X, including archetypes specializing from X’ (not just operational template X). An example: retrieve all reports, or all care plans, regardless of the used template. To do that, you probably need a specialization section in the OPT2, which according to the specs should have been removed, and you also need to create operational templates for archetypes that you never use to directly create compositions from. Or the tool querying the EHR must be fully aware of the full archetype specialization tree and use that to create a query with all specializing archetypes included in the query. So, is it intended that the REST API only works with operational templates, and never archetypes?

The key point about this current release is that it is meant to be a 'core basics' foundation of APIs to build on, and some services like CDS, and more sophisticated querying (e.g. that Erik Sundvall has published in the past) will be added over time. NOTE THAT IN THE 0.9.0 RELEASE, BREAKING CHANGES ARE POSSIBLE. You can see the ITS Release 0.9.0 link here<https://www.openehr.org/programs/specification/latestreleases>, while the links you see on the specs 'working baseline' page<https://www.openehr.org/programs/specification/workingbaseline> are the result of 0.9.0 plus any modifications made due to feedback. The .apib files are here in Github<https://github.com/openEHR/specifications-ITS/tree/master/REST_API> (see mainly the includes directory). We are aiming to release 1.0.0 at the end of February, at which point the formal process kicks in. Since we are in Release 0.9.0, the formal PR/CR process is not needed, and you can comment here. However, if you want to raise a PR you can, in which case, please set the Component and Affects Version fields appropriately: [cid:[email protected]] - thomas beale -- Thomas Beale Principal, Ars Semantica<http://www.arssemantica.com> Consultant, ABD Team, Intermountain Healthcare<https://intermountainhealthcare.org/> Management Board, Specifications Program Lead, openEHR Foundation<http://www.openehr.org> Chartered IT Professional Fellow, BCS, British Computer Society<http://www.bcs.org/category/6044> Health IT blog<http://wolandscat.net/> | Culture blog<http://wolandsothercat.net/>
