Archetyping Methodology

Thank to Heather for the Link and Congrats for the new born website!
As far as I remember form the tutorial session, Heather- started creating an archetype by a brain storming of what any clinician may ask about smoking or what She may examine during the caring process of a smoker patient,…, (I’m not sure about the kind of disease we discussed that day but surely you remember that example)

is it what she-or any other researchers in openEHR area- wanted to show us or I just understood it the way I am used to!
Actually, I’m really stuck into this kind of thinking about Archetypes and Templates and maybe it’s because of what we have done up to now in our project creating forms for Clinicians.
Briefly, I can categorize what I have in my mind as the methodology of creating an application based on openEHR as bellow:
1- organize number of questions your have in your mind regarding this disease
2- Analyze questions to find if there is any scheme for Archetype or Template in them
3- Search for existing Archetypes that may fairly act as the basis for templates you need for this case
4- Create new Archetypes if needed.
5- Combine Archetypes and create proper templates
6- use templates in Application!

Cheers
