Hi Gerard, I think getting the content model is absolutely right - no one can argue But with due respect I disagree with you about the difference. I seriously think standards defining clinical content should converge (not even harmonise). I had the privilege of spending some time with Ed Hammond in NZ and was convinced that this is what is needed. Mappings are different and certainly a blackhole. That said EN13606 Association's mission and role is paramount in terms of contextualising "exchange" within the European context.
We chose to use openEHR for defining the Interoperability standards in New Zealand as we are very mindful of the fact that this formalism has been defined and carried on for many years by this group; and it IS naturally the leading edge with proven track in implementation (one of which is my own work). I think W3C is a good example of how important it is to have a single approach in contrast to the situation in health IT. These might sound a bit strong but it is what I believe. I acknowledge lack of organisational capacity and skills in past though.

In the case of 13606 one good model that describes a generic interface for EHR communication, also, for communication with other proprietary EHR solutions. In the case of openEHR one good model that describes one particular implementation of an EHR-system. This difference is something the EN1366 Association cares about.

This is something I discussed with Thomas some time ago, it would be one of the best harmonisation solutions, but probably with a slightly different interpretation. Since 13606 has more generic classes (eg. the generic ENTRY can represent all of OBSERVATION, EVALUATION, INSTRUCTION, ACTION), instead of 13606 being a subset of openEHR I think that openEHR should be a specialized model of 13606. Obviously this would require a deep analysis and changes of the models, but that could be the idea. I don't care about the linguistics of subset / specialisation etc, I just care about getting one model.... - thomas Gerard Freriks +31 620347088 gfrer at luna.nl<mailto:gfrer at luna.nl> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
