I am working on interoperability aspect between healthcare standards. For running end to end scenarios I require openEHR messages (EHR Extracts). So my queries are
- Can I be provided with EHR Extracts related to blood pressure, laboratory messages etc that should be in the form of concrete openEHR messages to be communicated between different HIS.
- EHR Extracts are in the form of .adls extension. How to convert that to XML form, are there any tools available to convert ADLS form to XML?

Hi Wajahat,
just for reference, the openEHR EHR EXTRACT specification is here. An example of this model being used for archetypes was mentioned in a post on the technical list reproduced below.
In addition, a new version of the ADL Workbench is coming out in a few days, with complete reference model browsing and a beta version of XML generation, which may help in your general design work. The following release will include ADL 1.4 and 1.5 level XML, with Template-based XSDs coming in a subsequent release. There will also be basic editing capability.
There will be a separate announcements about this. Obviously this doesn’t actually ‘do the work’ you mention below, but in fact it is not that hard to do even now - I suggest looking at the example mentioned above.
