In the OpenEHR TP specification, in section 6.2.2.2. Repetition, is stated:
The second attribute, repeat_spec
of type TASK_REPEAT
enables a Task or Group to be marked as repeating. This is not intended to replace the use of individual Task instances over time, such as repeated medication administrations, but rather to be used to indicate if larger sections (i.e. Task Groups) of planned Tasks are repeatable.
I’d like to ask the meaning of the phrase “This is not intended to replace the use of individual Task instances over time, such as repeated medication administrations, but rather to be used to indicate if larger sections (i.e. Task Groups) of planned Tasks are repeatable.”
As far as I know, Repeat is the only way to model multiple instances of a task or task group in TP, and they are thus executed sequentially. If not using a Repeat loop, what are the alternatives? For repeated medication I am using Repeat as I do not know any other way of expressing mulplicity of a Task or Task Group, neither sequential nor parallel.
Thanks!
