At the University Hospital Basel, we’re excited to announce the start of a major cardiology project. This initiative involves developing templates and modeling cardiology-specific archetypes to address gaps in the openEHR ecosystem.
The first archetypes currently in development are:
Duke ISCVID Infective Endocarditis Criteria and
European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II.
Together with @jannisp and @amanda.herbrand, we are committed to creating detailed, reusable models aligned with openEHR principles and international standards. Transparency and collaboration are key to our work, so we’d love to hear community feedback, ideas, or insights.
Stay tuned for updates, and feel free to reach out if you’re interested in contributing or learning more.
Awesome
we did some cardiology stuff, most of it needs some love (different quality) and some of it have had no flow back yet (resources missing) .
I hope you can find smt of use here.
For CAEHR (connecting GP and Hospitals tracking patients etc.), please check the incubator CAEHR on the HiGHmed CKM, here all the models labeled with CAEHR_C where designed for the cardiology use-case.
These contain more up-to-date templates as the HiGHmed UCC ones and some new archetypes for questionnaires (here its not so easy with the IP of these some of them we had to take down from the CKM).
Thank you so much for sharing this and pointing me in the right direction!
I’ll definitely take a closer look at the HiGHmed CKM and the CAEHR_C models.
Great to see you advertising your work in the community to promote reuse rather than reinvention. Thank you.
It may be helpful if you can post what you think the gaps are in the CKM library or a mind map of the domain scope for your project. IMO many archetypes that may be useful within a cardiology context may not be cardiac-specific. For example, I have many years worth of archetypes uploaded to incubators or early drafts local on my machine that may be of interest even though I have not worked on cardiac-specific projects.
I absolutely agree! We already found the Cluster for imaging of the heart and also the ones for Physical examination of heart and lung each, amongst others. We had planned to get in touch with you about how to best further develop those and maybe achieve a stable version when our roadmap has become a bit clearer.
Currently, we are still in a project planning phase. Our high-level gap analysis has shown that many archetypes are already available, however, some (not many) are a .v0 and few missing. Happy to share our gap analysis if of interest.
We are tackling the easier, missing ones first (such as Duke and EUROII) and then moving on to the existing unstable ones. Regarding echocardiography, we are also in touch with Åsa (@Asa_Skagerhult) and colleagues from the ASHA project in Sweden to collaborate.
