Hi William,

I think one needs to be careful with such claims. Properly designing 
archetypes can take quite a lot longer than 2 weeks, due to the time it 
takes to get various experts to analyse the model, analyse their own 
needs etc.

"Transforming HL7 to openEHR" is obviously an imprecise statement; we 
would need to know what particular transformation you are talking about; 
working out transformations from HL7 to openEHR may or may not be quick 
in practice, but they can only be quick once the theory has been worked 
out. People are working on this, but it certainly isn't a 15 minute problem.

I believe it is very hard to accept the dogmatic approach of Gerard Freriks 
once again :-( 

I thought we would have stopped, working on the implementable harmonization 
artifacts. It has been proven to work with HL7 v3 messages. 

For clinical content it does not matter at all in which technical formalism 
or spec it is operationalised. A clinical concept sorting out takes 2 weeks, 
transforming from HL7 to Open EHR takes 15 minutes.
