this group of researchers appears to have created an approach to modelling health information using something a bit more powerful than mindmaps. They seem to know about CDA but not openEHR.

thanks Tom
Have you contacted the authors to make them aware of openEHR?
Seems like they’ve made a lot of effort …
Interestingly their Observe/Orient/Decide/Act model is in essence very similar to the same generic process model that underpins the openEHR reference model..Observations/Evaluations/Instructions/Actions..
So close and yet so far.. they need pointing to openEHR.

Tony
Without wanting to be too critical, not having read their work in detail, they may not be experienced in health since they have not distinguished Orders (what we call Instructions) from Actions performed, which is pretty basic. Also they seem to treat Diagnosis as the main outcome /next step of Observation, but as we all know a proper 'diagnosis' is just one of a number of possible types of assessment. A lot of health orders and actions occur before an actual diagnosis is made.

Sure their model has issues but at least they’ve considered the core clinical process angle to inform their information model.
Anyway if someone has their contact details suggest they drop them a line.

It's not surprising that they didn't know about openEHR, based on their
paper and listed references they don't appear to have done much of a
literature search.

I have looked at the CMAP approach in the past but I am not convinced that it adds much in our world, over standard mindmapping. It is certainly a little more flexible but not in any key respects.
The models are interesting and I agree are very similar philosophically to archetypes. The paper was published in 2012 and I was not able to found any further information on the True ERL project or avaialbility of the models. The lead author, Allen Brewer, https://www.linkedin.com/in/allen-brewer-74218111 seems to have been involved in IHE Eye Care. I will contact him and ask if the project is still active.

do we have cloud based open
ehr for Gynecology and Obstetrics?
Regards
Hi Hemant,
openEHR builds components which end-user systems can make use of, and does not provide a full EPR as such. The openEHR technology is well suited to a cloud-based solution.
You can see some of the obstetric / gyn related components (archetypes) at

Here are a couple of links on Clinical Reasoning that may perhaps be of use in making openEHR Concepts understood easily by those interested in using Archetypes for Clinical Decision Making and Healthcare ICT—
