Abstract:
One of the biggest challenges in maintaining Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems is the necessity to keep clinical knowledge up-to-date with the scientific evidence. Recently the standard modeling based on archetypes, proposed by the openEHR Foundation has proved effective in creating flexibly and semantically interoperable medical records. This paper describes the process of specifying and modeling an archetype for the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in a hospital information system designated by SaveCare.
