Adverse reaction risk: provenance | Blog - Atomica Informatics
06-03-2016
Recording adverse reactions, allergies and intolerances to medications and other substances is universally regarded as a high priority for clinical safety. This is the ‘Adverse reaction risk’ archetype’s story - an international, cross SDO collaboration that achieved consensus. It demonstrates the potential value that comes if we choose to work together, rather than create more silos.
The art of Clinical Lists | Archetypical

Anatomy of Anatomical Location | Blog - Atomica Informatics

Anatomical location seems pretty simple at first glance. In terms of scope though, it is huge and complex. In terms of use cases it has a massive potential impact - we need to get it right, so that it can be used consistently in health records.
Bridging the interop chasms | Blog - Atomica Informatics

True or false: if we want to achieve any degree of semantic interoperability in our clinical systems we need to standardise the clinical content, keeping it open and independent of any single implementation or messaging formalism?
Why US will have better clinical decision support than the EU | Musings of a confused technology addict.

There are so many misunderstood things about making computers help clinicians. It would take a lot of space to …
Incoherence ain't all bad! | Blog - Atomica Informatics
12-10-2015
Incoherence is not ideal, but it is a realistic part of any work such as we are doing within the openEHR community. Transparency and openness can mitigate some of the incoherence. Within a transparent, governed and collaborative environment incoherence and apparent conflict can be recognised and leveraged constructively to improve the quality of archetypes.
A little dance, clap & cheer | Blog - Atomica Informatics

Bridging the gap between the clinical experts and software engineers involved in eHealth projects is well known for being difficult and frustrating for both sides. The openEHR methodology is having great success in bringing the non-technical clinicians along with us on the clinical modelling journey.
Brazilian EHR innovation, powered by openEHR | Blog - Atomica Informatics
