Dear all
Another issue that is coming up at the moment. In the EHR recording or
clinical models ontology I have proposed that all allergies be recorded
under the ehr://persistent transactions (Fld)/Therapeutic precaustions
(Tx)/Known allergies (Org) as openEHR.evaluation.allergies. The issue is how
do we know that the organiser is empty because the patient has been asked
about this?
I would propose that we have an 'Empty' entry that is generic and can be
used to show that any organiser in the openEHR record is known to be empty -
then we will know who put it there and when. I suggest that the empty entry
allows a return string of type DV_TEXT (ie plain or coded) to state the
situation - in this case it might be "No Known allergies".
Comments?
Cheers, Sam
