Abstract:
ObsCare is an obstetric-specific Electronic Health Record in use in nine Portuguese obstetric departments. Like other EHRs, it faces major challenges related to semantic interoperability and data quality. openEHR is proposed to address those needs. This study aimed to describe a summary representation of Obscare workflow and to validate whether archetypes in the openEHR Clinical Knowledge Manager repository can represent ObsCare clinical concepts. The study included the phases: a) ObsCare form selection; b) Description of the workflow care process; c) Detailed data extraction; and d) CKM models analysis. 379 variables were analyzed: 219 were fully represented in CKM repository; 99 were partially represented and needed archetype modification; and 61 were not represented and need new archetypes. To conclude, our study showed that the openEHR CKM repository requires further enhancements to be able to fully answer to the needs of an obstetric-specific EHR, the ObsCare software.
