Volume of distinct "artifacts" made in openEHR

2014-10-28 Thread Øystein Nytrø
Does anyone have an overview over current production of archetypes?

Content, provenance, versions (language)?

If I have a part/component of an archetype, - can I search for 
overlaps/differences?

Best regards,

Texts about transforming between openEHR and other formalisms

Well, the article is both specific and practical. These are fundamental issues 
relevant for all information and knowledge modelling.

Sorry that the pointer was paywalled. 
Try the version 
https://www.escholar.manchester.ac.uk/api/datastream?publicationPid=uk-ac-man-scw:201196&datastreamId=FULL-TEXT.PDF
at Alan Rectors home page: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~rector/home_page_rector/

Essentially, transformation is difficult/meaningless if
 a) the representations are about different domains of discourse (data 
model, interface model, reality model)
 (identical labels for different purposes in different representations 
= future pain)
 b) semantics are informal or undefined.

A highly recommended and succinct article about the distinctions, relationships 
and transformations between archetypes, frames, templates and 
semantically tractable formalisms is: Alan Rector's: "Axioms & Templates: 
Distinctions & Transformations amongst Ontologies, Frames, & Information 
Models" .
His way of clearing up the terminology about (my words here...) information 
model (in the computer), templates (presentations for humans)
and domain knowledge (boundaries of reality) should be required reading for 
anyone working on domain modelling.
Look into the citations for more background. Available freely here: 
http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2479840

(Archetypes are essentially just another template/frame/OO-inspired modelling 
convention. And yes, Alan Rector is  THE authority on the subject matter.)

Arcetypes and care plans

2003-01-23 Thread Øystein Nytrø
I am not quite aware of the distinction between medication plans and 
medications planned, but anyway,
we are thinking about the "totality of monitoring, education, reviews" in 
addition to roles and 
delegation of responsibility, with the added complexity of limiting access to 
the plan content according
to "need to know", i.e. unless you are in a role that has responsibility for a 
specific part of 
a multi-problem-plan, you're not allowed to see it.

More specificly, we are starting a pilot that looks at requirements for a 
plan-based "record system" that supports 
cooperation across roles and organizations for long-term psychiatric patients. 
You wouldn't want rehabilitation-
people to have access or knowledge about specifics of family history etc...

And even more: What about goals for treatments? Think "goal-driven 
guidelines"...
Is an archetype neutral to the underlying guideline 
model/semantics/"execution"...

How do we go about composition, inheritance and instantiation wrt. archetypes 
for plans?
Multiple plans? (After all, it is more than common to be on many medication 
"plans" concurrently...)

Just rambling,
--- ?ystein N.

Arcetypes and care plans

2003-01-21 Thread Øystein Nytrø
Thanks for answer, I'll do some more thinking.
Meanwhile, some more questions...

- has anyone worked with medication in the context of care plans, just as a 
very specific example?
  I have a couple of students that are working on this at the moment. Any ideas 
towards
  archetype representation?

Fwd: Arcetypes and care plans

Recently, Norway has launched directives to the effect that any patient, with
a long-term care need, can request an individual care plan that should include 
all
relevant levels and actors, and guarantee patient-directed goal-oriented care.

Nothing less.

We are just starting a project to look at possible implementations of such 
plans, and would like
to know if anyone else are working on plans, prototypical plans, hierarchies of 
prototypes, 
specialized plans and so on in the context of archetypes.
