All,
I'd like to offer a view on this topic. While I have an, as yet, brief
involvement into this field of health informatics, I have been involved in
'informatics' outside of health for many years, although that term is not
used much outside of healthcare it is a very similar practice. So I'd

I should have added that this is not an openEHR issue but applies to
the whole of health informatics and would, IMO, make an excellent
subject for a PhD. We badly need the kind of academic analysis
equivalent to Alan Rector's work on the 'clinical statement' pattern
which underpins most of SNOMED,
To make thing even more complicated (we discussed this already some years ago)
the question should be: Does the patient have diabetes according to the

Don't remember it exactly but back then I could easily
Is much different to change the field from 'test
result:positive/negative' to 'test result positive:true/false'?
If the semantics if not the same then the 'positive/negative' has more
meaning that a simple boolean and I think they should be coded

Hi!
Good points from both of you, I just want to add a thought.
When designing or locally adapting GUIs I think it can be valuable to
have the option to use radio-buttons (or widgets with similar
visibility and semantics) also for DV_CODED_TEXT items if you know
that the number of options are

I came across this problem several times. It became almost impossible to
use DV_BOOLEAN. The worst problem is that since DV_BOOLEAN has to be
always true or false, if someone simply does not fill the field, it
became immediately false, which almost always was not what the user
wanted.

That seems a clear 'null flavour' use case

We have to be very careful with what can be modelled using Booleans and
what cannot be. If a lab is returning results whose values (the values
they provide, not you, the receiver!) can include
Positive/Negative/Indeterminate, this is not a boolean situation, it is
