This topic is a starting point of a broad discussion, and perhaps a place to share ideas or already made templates on how to structure Covid-19 vaccinations in openEHR. There are archetypes available in the international CKM, but might need tweeking or spesialization. It is anticipated that there wi…

see also: SARS-CoV-2 immunisation or should we stick to that forum?

I finally found time to work on the idea of specialising CLUSTER.medication to record vaccin information. I think it works pretty well. Only renamed some discriptions (some yet to be done). And added an element for ‘treated disease’. That could even make sense to be added to the parent archetype so …

Interesting. @Paulmiller and I did something a little different which was to add the Target disease and some other elements that are required for public health reporting and vaccine certification to a specialisation of the ACTION.medication archetype. This is the Vaccination record in the context …

Hi Ian, I generally agree. I do think it’s more about immunisation to an infectious agent (e.g. immunisation against SARS-CoV-2) instead of a disease (COVID-19). But either could work. If we’d go for the ‘target disease’ I think you could specialise the ‘clinical indication’ element in ACTION.medi…

Yes I also wondered about target disease vs. clinical indication but ‘target disease’ tends to be how the public health folks /WHO describe it and I suspect this may be more about reporting, so felt it better tp keep it separate from clinical indication. The Medication clusters were designed to…

'‘brand name (comirnaty)’ and ‘product name (flask of 3ml of pfizer covid vaccine, as a powder for injection)’ could both be handled as separate Medication Clusters how about nesting the comirnaty cluster in the product name cluster? I do feel it has value to create seperate elements for generic …

[image] heather.leslie: We need to be able to clearly manage recording #1 of a course of ‘n’ vaccinations, plus manage the textual status for ‘Booster’ - see CR-363 in CKM. It’s not as simple as a count, but maybe needs to be SCT coded as ‘first’, ‘second’, ‘booster’. We possibly need to hand…

@ian.mcnicoll could you share the adl for this template that you shared? the link is no longer active. TIA

Don’t think it matters really maybe start again here with a bit more scene-setting.

e.g. openEHR COVID-19 Project

and we can refer to the other conversation and pull through the artefacts.
