Let me give an example why we would like to have a separate data measurement and data entry date and time field. For instance in the 'youth' healthcare many health care providers are still working with paper records to register growth and weight progression (and these data point are then plotted by hand in a graph). If we would like to 'persuade' these healthcare providers to start using an electronic system (based on openEHR), they would want to be able to 'import' their existing data. If now only the data entry date/time but not the data measurement date/time are registered, there's not much sense in doing so, since no age/weight and/or age/length plots can be generated anymore. These plots are valuable tools when monitoring the progression of children. How would one be able to do such a thing using the current AT structure?
