Hello all.  
Great discussions here, but is it absolutely necessary that every single posting is cross-posted to the technical and the clinical lists? All the more so that I imagine that the subscriber roster for the two groups is identical.

TIA

I was thinking the same myself, but of course it is hard to always decide if something like 'episode' is technical or clinical - I think we can probably assume that any topic which is of direct interest to domain experts/clinical people should be on the 'clinical' list, whereas purely technical discussions should stay on the 'technical' list.

in the interests of avoiding cross-posting, can I suggest that FUTURE POSTS on the EPISODE discussion stay on the CLINICAL list? Future posts on details of how to model it in openEHR should go on the technical list...
