BACKGROUND Numerous information models for electronic health records, such as openEHR archetypes are available. The quality of such clinical models is important to guarantee standardised semantics and to facilitate their interoperability. However, validation aspects are not regarded sufficiently yet. The objective of this report is to investigate the feasibility of archetype development and its...

Clinical archetypes provide a means for health professionals to design what should be communicated as part of an Electronic Health Record (EHR). An ever-growing number of archetype definitions follow this health information modelling approach, and this international archetype resource will eventually cover a large number of clinical concepts. On the other hand, clinical terminology systems that...

OBJECTIVES This article describes the Web application framework for Electronic Health Records (EHRs) we have developed to reduce construction costs for EHR sytems. METHODS The openEHR project has developed clinical model driven architecture for future-proof interoperable EHR systems. This project provides the specifications to standardize clinical domain model implementations, upon which the ...

OBJECTIVE The ISO/EN 13606 Electronic Health Record architecture standard permits semantically interoperable exchange of Electronic Health Record data by using archetypes to define the structure and semantics of Electronic Health Record contents. Practical implementations of the ISO/EN 13606 standard have been scarcely reported on, and none of the publications describes in detail an efficient t...

BACKGROUND The Archetype formalism and the associated Archetype Definition Language have been proposed as an ISO standard for specifying models of components of electronic healthcare records as a means of achieving interoperability between clinical systems. This paper presents an archetype editor with support for manual or semi-automatic creation of bindings between archetypes and terminology s...

he Cortegiano rejects one major aspect of the Renaissance reinterpretation of Boccaccio’s Decameron. It cannot consider the text as a model for literary Italian in the way that Bembo urged his readers do so in the Prose della volgar lingua. For Castiglione this attempt to make the Decameron a timeless, linguistic archetype was misguided and inappropriate to the needs of contemporary court socie...
