Hello eveybody!
Looking at this discussion, the volume it is taking weighted against the 
visible progress I ask myself if this is an efficient way to reach 
harmonised conclusions.

In our experience doing the national EHR standards and the lab report 
for Austria we noticed:
- Once you reach a sufficient level of detail it is not possible to 
reach generic (one fits all) solutions within available timeframes.
- Data models and their descriptions only started to work after all 
involved had agreed on a specific, crisp and clear definition of the 
usecase.
- No information model / description did work for all thinkable usecases.
- We had to tailor information models to specific usecases.
- Then bridging from one use case into the other becomes a challenge, as 
subtle differences in the information will become an issue.
- In order to bridge information from one specific use case into the 
other we typically need to define another specific usecase.

I do not see the specific usecases you are referring to. I therefore can 
not contribute to or understand this discussion. Maybe I missed 
something. Sorry!
