Hi, I recommend that you start reading the Architecture Overview which gives a overview of the ideas behind openEHR. You can find the current version at the URL http://svn.openehr.org/specification/TAGS/Release-1.0.1/publishing/architect ure/overview.pdf .
If you would like to have a little ?hands on? experience of archetypes is it probably a good idea to download an archetype editor and play around with it. The Link?ping University Archetype Editor can be found at the URL http://www.imt.liu.se/mi/ehr/tools/ and the Ocean Archetype editor at the URL http://downloads.oceaninformatics.com/products/archetypeeditor/ .

While I have yet to understand the full potential of the framework, I would like to start with something simple. Suppose a surgeon signs onto my system and wishes to create a new progress note. On paper he may have written (swapping out the <>) ____________________ <age, sex> with <ESLD> admitted with <dehydration> Received <n> ml/kg of volume resuscitation last night. Went to OR for <CVL> placement, transferred to ICU for management after OR. a) Send <bacterial infection> <if stooling> b) <Re|start> <med> for wound infection c) Check weights d) etc. _____________________ How does OpenEHR come into play with this action - Should provide lookups or force sentence structure? Should it be used to define and store the content into discrete data? What data source or service would my code interact with? I guess I have many questions, and I apologize in advance if I miss some concepts. thanks!
