It has been proposed that the priorities and focus of the next Clinical Knowledge Manager archetype reviews be on achieving agreement and consensus on the 10 key archetypes that would support healthcare provision in a typical crisis situation. Effectively these archetypes would contain clinical content that the openEHR community regard as the most important components of any Emergency Summary. More colloquially, we could refer to them as ‘10 archetypes that could save a life’!
The poll to determine the major focus for the next CKM archetype review closes this Friday, July 24, 2009.
I am a bit confused about this one – may well be because I have missed something – apologies if that is the case.
My confusion - is this a data entry in emergency department issue or the information a clinician would want to know when seeing a patient in the emergency department?
Is this the data needed to be recorded in ED and then passed on to other clinicians?
Or is this the data sourced from elsewhere which the ED clinician need to have in order to treat the patient?
Potentially yes to all those scenarios, Steve. Each example you use would be expressed as an individual template that would have differing constraints on pretty much the same component archetypes (each archetype being reviewed and published as maximal datasets for the universal use case and designed to cater for data entry or retrieval. They could equally potentially be used as part of a PHR or an emergency bracelet/USB.
There is a candidate list of 20 from which to vote for this immediate work. In reality, eventually they are all so ubiquitous that they will all likely become foundation archetypes that can be re-used in multiple templates and cater for many clinical scenarios across many domains.
There is some more background information and potential uses for each candidate archetype in the wiki link in my previous email.
We are trying to identify which are the priority archetypes on which we the CKM community will focus first, and which might be utilized in any or all of these scenarios.
I think consciousness level is mandatory in emergency. Is consciousness
included within vital sign?
ACLS guideline shows ABCD survey, such as
Primary survey: Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Expose
Which do you think better, to define ABCDE archetype or compose ACLS
survey template with A archetype, B archetype, C archetype, D archetype
and E archetype?
