OBJECTIVES The objective is to introduce 'clinical archetype' which is a formal and agreed way of representing clinical information to ensure interoperability across and within Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The paper also aims at presenting the challenges building quality labeled clinical archetypes and the challenges towards achieving semantic interoperability between EHRs. METHODS Twent...

Bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) archetypes extracted from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) BRDF/Albedo product over the global Earth Observing System Land Validation Core Sites can be used to simplify BRDF models. The present study attempts to evaluate the representativeness of BRDF archetypes for surface reflectance anisotropy. Five-year forward-...

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are a complex knowledge domain. The ability to design EHRs to cope with the changing nature of health knowledge, and to be shareable, has been elusive. A recent pilot study1 tested the applicability of the CEN 13606 as an electronic health record standard. Using openEHR archetypes and tools2, 650 clinical content specifi cations (archetypes) were created (e.g. f...

Using openEHR archetypes to establish an electronic patient record promises rapid development and system interoperability by using or adopting existing archetypes. However, internationally accepted, high quality archetypes which enable a comprehensive semantic interoperability require adequate development and maintenance processes. Therefore, structures have to be created involving different he...

An archetype is a formal model of a domain concept, expressed as a set of constraints based on a reference model and used in a particular domain. In clinical domains, an archetype is defined as a formal model of a clinical concept. Archetypes are considered by many researchers a fundamental tool for the achievement of semantic interoperability of electronic healthcare records. To date, differen...

in this paper, at first we reviewed the topics of literary modern criticism and psychological criticism and relationship between psychology and literature, paving the ground for the entry in the main topic. then we critique the modernist novel «when we left the bridge» by abdul rahman munif through archetypes put forward by psychologists and critics. in this paper criticism of the novel mention...

Clinical decision-support systems (CDSSs) comprise systems as diverse as sophisticated platforms to store and manage clinical data, tools to alert clinicians of problematic situations, or decision-making tools to assist clinicians. Irrespective of the kind of decision-support task CDSSs should be smoothly integrated within the clinical information system, interacting with other components, in p...

Most advanced Electronic Healthcare Records architectures represent clinical knowledge by means of archetypes. Consequently, guaranteeing the correctness and consistency of such archetypes becomes crucial for the success of those architectures. In this work, we present a method that uses OWL and reasoners for evaluating the consistency of the archetypes. This method has been validated through i...

Background: Psychological archetypes are according to Carl Jung universal, archaic patterns and images that derived from the collective unconscious psychic counterpart of an instinct. Besides fundamental Jungian (persona, shadow, anima, animus, great mother, wise old man, hero, self self-realization), there may be plenty other psychological archetypes, existence which can deduced indirectly thr...
