Hi Hugh and Gerard, I very much agree that snomed coding should only be done where it adds value. Since archetypes provide meaning themselves not everything has to be coded (as opposed to HL7 that relies more on external codes). Although for export to non-openEHR formats (or data-mining on

Dear all, It is all about patterns for documenting. I agree that inspection of the present collection of openEHR archetypes and those produce by the NHS are a nice resource. But we must realize that these were produced for demonstration, testing, learning or the collection of information

Hi, The way I like to think about it is that there is a generic archetype for lab-tests as a recurring 'pattern'. Each individual lab test procedure is a code from a general coding system. The way Lab-test are reported (quantitative data, in what units of measurement, precision, normal

Dear Daniel, yes, I said that the grey zone is a relic of the past, It is there and we have to deal with it. But that is not to say that it must stay the same. To my mind we have to be aware that when dealing with semantics and IT we must stay close to the eons proven way to do things. For

Dear Everyone, just to add another perspective, in the Galen project post coordination was the norm while IHTSDO sits on a heritage of some 300 000 things Snomed CT needs to take care of. Also, pre-coordination is (I think) required for making fixed length identifiers. Still, Snomed CT is

Hugh, The argument comes when you say that every data point in an archetype needs to be coded and here there are arguments both ways. I would say that it is unnecessary to code every data point. There is little benefit for instance in coding sitting, lying, standing, reclining n a blood
