I mean combining CDSS and > openEHR ? * There are various PhD thesis in the related area of workflow - see http://www.openehr.org/shared-resources/publications/workflow.html The key thing in making CDS work with any EHR system is a standardised querying capability that is independent of the concrete implementation of the system. openEHR uses something called AQL - archetype querying language, which is dependent only on archetypes, not concrete database or software details. This means a CDS system can be deployed over any openEHR system reliably, and use the same queries - e.g, if you develop a query for finding candidates for prostate checkup or some such thing, it will work the same way in any openEHR system. The main current resource for querying is here - http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/spec/openEHR+Query+Specifications - thomas beale * _______________________________________________ openEHR-decisionsupport mailing list openEHR-decisionsupport@openehr.org http://lists.chime.ucl.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/openehr-decisionsupport
