Hello together, 

i  wanted to check how the coverage is in regards of mental health models. 
Are there any ongoing projects currently ?
We think about maybe starting a WG, but wanted to check first what the progress etc is. 
I know nedap and code24 are active in the mental health domain afaik ?
@sebastian.iancu @MattijsK maybe you can share some insights.

Generic mental health functionality will use many of the same archetypes as generic somatic health functionality, and a majority of those models are published.

In terms of models specific to mental health, there are some[1] internationally published archetypes for clinical instruments/scores/scales, and we have some additional models[2] only published on the Norwegian CKM (for different reasons). A problem in this context is that many such tools are licensed in such a way that archetypes can't be published.

* [4AT](https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/archetypes/1013.1.4304)
* [Brøset Violence Checklist (BVC)](https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/archetypes/1013.1.5150)
* [ Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS)](https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/archetypes/1013.1.2422)
* [ Yale Global Tic Severity Scale - Revised (YGTSS-R)](https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/archetypes/1013.1.5066)

[2]:
* [Montgomery And Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)](https://arketyper.no/ckm/archetypes/1078.36.1335) (semantic change in Norwegian translation)
* [ Mini mental status evaluering (MMSE-NR3)](https://arketyper.no/ckm/archetypes/1078.36.2501) (I think this also had a semantic change in the Norwegian translation)
* [S-GAF](https://arketyper.no/ckm/archetypes/1078.36.1334) (Norwegian GAF is split into the functional and symptom assessments)

Additionnally, there are archetypes in the international CKM not directly related to mental health, but of factors which indirectly can contribute to mental disorders. Have a look at the social context project: https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/projects/1013.30.39

Also the archetypes for substance and alcohol use can be relevant:

https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/archetypes/1013.1.1521


AND, of course the Screening Questionnaires: https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/projects/1013.30.90

Here is a dataset for an MH Discharge summary from \[PRSB\](https://info.theprsb.org/cs/c/?cta_guid=13616710-6f1b-4010-9d55-69a432f89075&signature=AAH58kGNEyPfl6Gd_94t1gDtfGtBSAn64Q)

It is very generic

‘Formulation’ is a gap but we tried a very rough Evaluation \[here\] ( https://tools.openehr.org/designer/#/viewer/shared/Pz9zaGFyZWRJZD0xJGMxMDVlMzc2ODQ5YjRlNDJhYzNkN2RiOTkxNjFhNmUy )
