Hi Igor,

This is an interesting area which does not neatly fit within the core
openEHR focus.

We already have the EHR domain focussed on patient clinical data and the
Demographic domain which deals with patient and provider demographics. What
you are describing does not really fit terribly neatly with either domain,
and should probably be thought of separately as a 'Assets' domain, which may
deserve its own part of the openEHR reference model.  Although the
Demographics service is a better fit for this kind of 'reference data', this
still does not feel quite correct and the Demographics Reference model is
not really appropriate for this use, in my opinion.

One option, for now)  would be to model Ward  and other simiilar assets
using traditional RDBMS approach and simply use a unique ID within the
patient EHR to refer to the ward e.g patient's current ward. You could
always use Admin_entry archetypes to facilitate the requirements modelling.

Regards,

Ian
