Hi Everyone, I would go even furhter. In many observation procedures effort is made to reduce the effect of human interference to a level where the fact that, as Gerard says, what's documented always goes through a human mind is insignificant. My interpretation of the openEHR OBSERVATION-EVALUATION distinction is just that, if the human interpretation is of significance or not. So even if the blood glucose is checked, validated, etc. by lab staff I would still argue that that human interpretation is (more or less) insignificant to the (later stage) interpretation of the blood glucose result.
