Hi,

I am developing teaching material on openEHR for our undergraduate course\.

Most approaches to teaching openEHR tend to be high level \- explaining
the need and advantages of using archetypes, guiding principles and so
on\. I am hoping to get away from this and to offer a more hands\-on
approach\. My aim is to develop material that leads my students to an
understanding of the problems of developing EHRs first, before
demonstrating how openEHR attempts to overcome these difficulties\.

I am looking for someone currently developing archetypes \(or who has
some they have developed in the past\), who would be happy for their work
to be adapted for use as a university case study, and is prepared to
collaborate in developing this\.

Many thanks,

Derek

Hi Derek,
Could you please clarify the content you have in mind? Hands on openEHR usage spans quite a large set of topics. Are you interested in actual implementation of the specifications?
From your message I get the impression that you are more interested in modelling. In that case, maybe clinical list may give you a better response to your query. We may be more helpful if you define your scope a little bit better.

Kind regards
Seref
