I might need Adam to help with the specifics but from memory, since we 
implemented a problem oriented care plan, we had a set of goals that may be 
relevant for a specific problem, the targets relevant to a goal, the type of 
data representation of the target (e.g text, single value, range, less 
than/greater than) and the kind of activities (instructions) that are relevant 
to achieving the goal target. Can't remember if there is a reference to the 
observation value that would be used to evaluate the target variance.

As you can see this is more than clinical model semantics, but with this we are 
able to drive the app to capture this data and populate the generic goal 
archetype data. Some of this could probably be represented using GDL, but I 
haven't explored this yet.

Regards

Heath
