I must agree, since it was our starting point several years ago. That's the reason why we created an ontology. But we discovered it was useless trying to work on a decision support system if we only had the local datas (since you can far more easyly help a doctor by analysing what others produced... he usually can work well on what he recorded himself). So we worked on concepts in the continuity of care domain. But we discovered that the success key for continuity of care is the patient acceptance, but we had to present him with an "acceptable" system. So we worked on the Patient Health Project, an health management concept. Now we are quite happy with that, and we have nearly adapted a Blackboard (an Artificial Intelligence component) to our system. 10 lines to tell a 10 years story ;o) Philippe - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
