Vote on the next archetypes for review in CKM

Dear Colleagues,

It has been proposed that the priorities and focus of the next Clinical Knowledge Manager archetype reviews be on achieving agreement and consensus on the 10 key archetypes that would support healthcare provision in a typical crisis situation. Effectively these archetypes would contain clinical content that the openEHR community regard as the most important components of any Emergency Summary. More colloquially, we could refer to them as ‘10 archetypes that could save a life’!

The ongoing value of agreeing these archetypes comes from the fact that while they will support emergency care, they will also be re-used as foundation clinical content for many health record summaries or encounters.

We have organised an online poll for the openEHR to prioritise the archetypes that will be reviewed. It is not a sophisticated tool, but will provide some indication of the community feeling. We ask for you to vote for your top 10 archetypes, however there is no formal limit and you can vote for all 20 if you must. The outcome is simple - the archetypes with the most votes will be reviewed first!

How to vote?:
