Dear All
The next set of archetypes are for pathology results. These present a particular design issue because there are many different sorts of result sets that come back, identified by a LOINC code at present.
The laboratory archetypes are based around common result sets - deal with the PIT segment as a multimedia object and contain information about the specimen, when it was taken and about any quality issues that arise - based on Grahame Grieve's suggestions.
They warrant careful appraisal by the pathology folks - GPs need to be sure they will cater sufficiently in the examples given. If this approach is suitable, further archetypes will be developed along these lines.

Note that there is a VERY generic laboratory archetype for all tests, and the LFTs, TFTs and ELUs are specialisations of this.
There is also a new version of the Archetype editor, much developed in the area of specialisation of archetypes for those interested in editing the archetypes.
Let us know how you get on!
