Hi Gerard, I would agree with most, of not all of your definitions.
I can forsee use for templating being done on single archetypes to define local or professional constraints e.g minimum datasets or 'good-practice' guides. I would regard a patient mandate archetype as an Evaluation but we may have a different idea of what constitutes a patient mandate. Can you give a specific example - ? something like 'Does not wish to be resuscitated in event of cardiac arrest?'
