Hi, Koray Brazil has the same approach, you know, to usearchetypes to model and IHE profiles ( and CDA) to exchange documents, but we don't have any prior work done, using HL7 v2 or CDA for exchanging clinical information.
We're beginning to specify the information model of the two first documents of Brazilian national EHR, using international and Nehta CKM archetypes as models for creating the templates and from there to transform them into CDA, which will be the exchange format. those are the two first business cases of the e health platform : hospital discharge summary to primary care, which is intended to be a national standard and primary/ community care event summary, this one being designed acording the requirements the primary care team has established. We still have a discussion on how to transform a openEHR template into CDA, possibly we we're going to do per archetype. There's another parallel discussion, which is to use simply 13606 or even openEHR extracts instead, and to create special IHE profiles in Brazil ( Minas Gerais, as you know has deployed a EHR platform using 13606 as exchange format). We volunteered to work on the revision of 13606 at ISO, to harmonize the two reference and archetype object models, and CDA, so we could create implementation guides to tackle this, although there are some of us that think that Brazil has no hl7 legacy, so it would be a waste of time and money to do this transformation. It has been a hot discussion among us, and I would wellcome any comments or suggestions from the community regarding this. Recently we had a discussion with Charles Parisot and Michael Nussbaum ( IHE) on it, Michael is the opinion Brazilian should propose new profiles. Marcelo Santos, who was the technical developer of Minas Gerais extracts is now working at GE research and he is currently working on a IHE openEHR profile, but still using CDA as exchange format. He is contributing to the national documents as well, because he is a member of the architecture group of our health standards committee and is also one of the experts of the Brazilian national eHealth strategy. I think he's the right person to talk in Brazil on this issue. Regarding to a national CKM, we're pursuing this for a while, you know. The state of Minas Gerais will finally have CKM service to manage their archetypes and we're trying to get a national instance soon. Sam was here discussing how to deploy a national instance of CKM with the Institute of Technology and Innovation of University of Brasilia, which was contracted to develop the National EHR platform, based on SOA architecture. I'm working with them to create the openehr operational templates for all use cases. In the discharge summary we will use specializations of adverse reactions, medication list and allergies CKM Archetypes. We will need a repository soon to create and manage our generated artifacts, therefore we are trying to get MOH as host of National CKM, but are prone to join the Minas gerais one if MOH doesn't take over the role. As you know the maturity level, when it concerns to health informatics standards at the government IT department is very low, and we have some difficulties to convince them to invest in tools and methodologies to develop interoperable clinical information systems. It is one of our big challenges, and the Institute resolved to assume the job to develop the EHR, bringing together experts, acquiring and training people in health informatics, being openEHR one of them. They intend to have interchange with other national programs that use the same approach, in order to share experiences and maybe develop common projects, and NZ is a potential source of knowledge to us. Another big challenge for us are terminologies, to create the termsets in our templates, then we don't have any clinical terminology in Brazil, not even a medication terminology adequate to be used in clinical information systems. We submitted a special project to IHTSDO to begin the translation of SNOMED CT with procedures and medications. Beatriz Leao wants to use DM+D to do the mapping to our national terms, but I prefer to use Australian Medicine Terminology instead. I'd like to know of all of you, which is the better choice. I read one NZ paper dedicated to that issue, but it dates back a couple of years already, so I'd really appreciate to learn from your experience. We're definitely going mainstream, I'm very proud to be part of this community.
