Hi there,
In our operative note document we have a data element to record the
decease of a patient during a surgical operation. At our first try, we
modelled "time of death" as a single Element to make it fit into a
particulare section on the document. However, it feels wrong as I think
that the death of a patient is a concept on its own that will be reused
in many scenarios and that might need further data elements. In the CKM,
there is only the death data archetype (which is a CLUSTER in the
Demographic Model) which is not feasible for our use-case.
Is there a reason why such a prominent concept as "death" has not been
modeled as EHR archetype?
Regards,
