Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for developing a data architecture for clinical medicine. The methodology uses an object-oriented analysis approach that takes advantage of the domain expertise of practicing physicians. The resulting high-level data model combines a structured, event-based model of clinical information with the process-oriented structures usually associated with problem lists and practice protocols.
