Hi everybody, I come across some cases where I think it would be beneficial if we could put an item of type Party into an Archetype. For example, the multimedia resource archetype has a field “author” that allows to capture information about the creator of a resource. Just using a URI instead of a …

What kind of additional information you would like to record?

At least a person’s name would be good.

Still thinking on this subject … Would something useful to have something like DV_PARTYxxx, having PARTY_IDENTIFIED or PARTY_PROXY as value ?

I think having PARTY_IDENTIFED as a data value would be very helpful, along with adding role and organisation as attributes, and having other_details ITEM_TREE. I know we should be trying to manage all of this as references but it is practically impossible in many/most projects I am working on for n…

Perhaps we should elaborate a bit more, get an idea about the proposition and its impact. Introducing a new DV_x is not trivial, but can it be done i…

I’m fine with it as long as we don’t end with an empty class…

Taking this thread in a slightly different direction, part of the original problem is that we are often asked to refer to external parties in various parts of the data model without any gurantee that we can resolve these to an actual demographic service entity. This often involved slotting in clust…

[image] ian.mcnicoll: A major gap in PARTY_IDENTIFIED is the lack of an attribute for role/relationship, alongside name and identifier, as ‘minimal clinically useful info’ where a full hookup to a demographics service is not possible or needed. However PARTY_RELATIONSHIP does support that, albei…

[image] thomas.beale: A better solution really would just be to add a place in an EHR for demographic objects to go (versioned), and provide a way for PARTY_PROXY instances to point to those. Then at least you will have only one Dr Jones, one Nurse DuPont etc, rather than hundreds of copies. I…
