Gerard I am using the term 'assumed' value in the archetype editor. This seems helpful as it means that it does not have to be recorded and it is normal practice. A single BP reading is assumed to be sitting - possibly lying - but not standing. Weight is assumed to be measured in light clothing an

Absolutely! I'm sure there are thousands of un-tapped pockets of technical brilliance out in our provider community... but most very busy with patients and, with the exception of nut-cases like myself, probably not THAT passionately interested in information technology. However, virtually all of

Thomas, Thanks for the comments. My only caution about asking physicians to comment on the desirability of EHR-system proposals is that they may not understand [what we mean by] our questions... and we probably won't really understand [what they mean by] their responses. When we ask for input fro

Dear Chris, CEN/TC251 is co-operating with OPENEHR. We are in the process to define a next version of our EHR standard. It is basicly a standard that defines a Document and facilities for handling it properly. Plus it will enable to locate doucment items in space and time. On top of this the stan

Hi Chris, Great response! Would like to learn what the US Providers want and need from a system like the proposed OpenEHR project. Contributors to the project are at liberty to publish; but the remaining, quite numerous, Providers may well be unaware of the existence of such projects and unable t

Hi Chris, One thought to keep in mind regarding: "The EHR efforts seem to want to standardize both the data AND the horse it rode in on.": The DATA embedded in an OpenEHR standardized system can be both extracted and modified. My hunch is that the final OpenEHR standardized system may still be

Thomas, This sounds workable to me. If I am understanding you correctly, we need one (and only one??) registry in which anyone, anywhere (who is authorized, of course) could look up a patient and determine which "region" had master control at the moment over his record. If I'm a provider living i

Hi All, With a background in fault tolerant computing I have a built-in penchant for distributed files that are exact/backup copies of a master. Works wonders for financial transactions. I don't believe that this model fits EHRs especially since one can conceive of parallel, e.g., close proximity
