Hi Hasti, others I had formerly done PhD work in genetics before switching to health informatics and still have great interest in this domain. I know that bio part of health informatics is well ahead of medical/clinical world and waiting for the EHR puzzle to be solved - or at least some more progress. The reason is simple: to unveil the genotype<=>phenotype linkage which will certainly open a new era in Medicine. One person whom I suggest getting his advice would be Amnon Shabo from IBM at Haifa/Israel. He used to be on openEHR lists but I haven't heard from him for long. Amnon has initiated and is currently leading the HL7 Clinical Genomics Special Interest Group and also co-editor of the CDA specification.

Our National Board of Health and Welfare has an expert group who maintains a database of around 250 rare diseases, of which some involves skeletal dysplasia. The board have also developed a generic model of information structure where you could put all the procedures being critical to these conditions. If connected to the precise context in the EHR system, proposed actions from the user (healthcare professional) could be warned of because of the evident or potential threat to the patient. Are there particular conditions you are interested in? Best regards, Rikard L?vstr?m 2010/11/12 Hasti Ziaimatin <h.ziaimatin at uq.edu.au<mailto:h.ziaimatin at uq.edu.au>> Hi Pariya, Thank you for your reply. The project is aiming at creating a knowledge base for Skeletal Dysplasia which will also be used for decision support.

I'm currently performing research, in collaboration with other members of the team, on creating an ontology for depicting a health information system model for a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders affecting skeletal development. I have recently come across openEHR archetypes. I have an interest in this area and would like to kindly ask for your help in finding a research topic which I may be able to relate to creating a knowledgebase to assist clinicians in capturing gene and protein information as well as help with the diagnosis of rare and unknown cases of these genetic Skeletal disorders. Semantic Web technologies will be used for creating this knowledge base. Thanks in advance.
