openEHR is creating a requirements project to hodl requirements information. There are two kinds of requirements - one is functional/architectural, and a lot of work has been done on this topic over the last 10-15 years. So an initial piece of content will be published, based on Dipak Kalra's doctoral thesis work, which is a synthesis and update to work done in GEHR, Synapses, EHR-SupA, openEHR, and takes into account Riche, nucleus and many other projects.
The second kind of requirement document we need is what Arild has mentioned - scenarios of health tasks. HL7 has done some work on this, and published some storyboards in their ballot for their standard. I don't believe this IP will be directly available. Many other people no doubt have material of this nature lying around which could be made into a repsitory of short scenarios which could be classified and managed in openEHR, but essentially created and maintained by the community. I am willing to propose a template for such documents; is the community interested in contributing? If it was agreed to make the contributions copyright to The openEHR Foundation, it would protect the material being openly available to all (whcih is what we do with the reference model documents for example). I think this would be a nice project for the new year. If we could dedicate a section of the website to this function, we can use forms to enable people to contribute scenarios, and a little bit of querying logic to search for existing scenarios. thoughts? - thomas beale Arild Faxvaag wrote > Dear all. > Has someone tried to establish a collection of use case documents with > descriptions of information-related tasks by health care workers? > > Would you developers consider it useful if such a collection existed? > > kindly regards - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
