Approach
The Northern Territory approach to the creation of an electronic Pregnancy Health Record is to use clinically-agreed archetypes as the basis for an Antenatal software developmenta shared Pregnancy Health Record.
An archetype is a structured, computable specification for one single, discrete clinical concept. Examples include Blood Pressure; Clinical Synopsis; Medication order; or Adverse Reaction.
...
2. Map clinical concepts to archtypesarchetypes
Each of the clinical concepts were mapped to existing archetypes within the NEHTA Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM), or the need identified for creation of a new archetype.
Some of the existing archetypes meet the requirements for the NT Pregnancy Record already; others needed modification or enhancement to meet the requirements.
3. Analysis

23 clinical concepts were identified; represented by 21 archetypes.
The newly created archetypes have been uploaded to the CKM, and the ones requiring modification have been updated.

4. CKM Review
Within CKM each archetype will then undergo review rounds by a range of clinicians, terminologists, software engineers, informaticians and other interested experts. The purpose of each review round will be to fine-tune each archetype so that it meets the requirements for each stakeholder group.
CKM Videos:
For the clinicians we seek to ensure that all relevant date elements are included, that the names and descriptions are correct etc – the end goal being that the archetype at the end of all review rounds is regarded as safe and 'fit for clinical purpose'. Any and all contributions are gratefully received from all reviewers, ranging from simple typo and grammar corrections, through wordsmithing word-smithing descriptions, to challenges about incorrect or missing content.
...
Review rounds will continue until consensus has been achieved – surprisingly, in experience to date, the inclusive nature of the maximal data set has enabled consensus on the structure of the archetypes. If consensus is not achieved, then it will need a resolution process will allow for publication of the agreed parts of the model, allowing for further research and discussion and potential future revision of the archetype.

5. Create an openEHR template
Once community consensus is reached within CKM, the archetypes will be aggregated and constrained in a template to accurately represent the data requirements for the NT Pregnancy Health Record.
Each bold, black heading in the the following screenshot represents an archetype. The Pregnancy Summary archetype has been opened up to see the details. Black text indicates data elements that will be utilised in this use case; grey text indicates inactive data elements.
