Dear All, In HISTORY DATA SET,if seen carefully,the data can be divided into two broad categories. a.The format. b.The descriptive data. The history format is more or less structured all over the world. The descriptive part is mainly in the History of Present Illness in which the Onset Duration and Progess(ODP) of each complaint is given in chronological order. The rest of the history format is not so descriptive and can be easily strucutured. In History of present illness if we assign a indentifier for each Chief compliant which is going to be described later in terms of ONSET DURATION PROGESS, we have already been able to structure a large part of history. Again a sypmtom list classified according to the systems can be provided. I have already incorporated this in the system which I have designed. Plus if we incorporate CPGs in the system we will be to provide a smaller but comprehensive symptom set.
I leave the thread OPEN for discussion. DR ANIKET JOSHI __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
