> 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
