Subject: Device information in the EHR
Hi Everyone
I have just returned home after many weeks of meetings which
have been an extraordinary experience - but one involved a session at
the ISO meeting in Brisbane with the devices group and Melvin Reynolds.
He is interested in standardising the information we keep about the
device as part of the observation protocol.
We have agreed to try and get a standard model (a cluster in
openEHR) that we use to record information about the device used to make
the observation. It was raised at the meeting that the laboratory will
retain a great deal of information - the point is that some of this
might be critical in the future (such as the identification of the
device if systematic errors are later reported which might mean we
should not accept the findings from this device as sufficiently
accurate).
I would like to start a thread where we agree on the information
about the DEVICE - this is not about the value (ie the accuracy of the
measurement can be added to the reading and should be there we believe)
- so it is about the device itself.
What do people suggest?
Cheers, Sam Heard
