Detailing of the archetype modelling steps in the SES/MG

Step Description Methodology Participants Delivered artifact Effort
Patient’s Clinical Summary (PCS) element selection Defining the data elements that would compose the PCS.
  • Workshops with the SES/MG internal areas;

  • Domain analysis for each identified element.

Clinical Team; Representatives from the internal areas of the SES/MG. 122 PCS data elements identified. 60 days
Identification of the Candidate Concepts Identifying the candidate concepts that properly accommodated the data elements chosen for the Summary.
  • Discussions to identify candidate concepts;

  • Development of Mind Maps.

Clinical Team Mind Maps including all concepts identified. 60 days
Archetype Modelling Modelling the archetypes according to the hierarquical levels prescribed by the ISO 13606 norm.
  • Modelling the candidate concepts in accordance with the classes prescribed by the ISO 13606 norm;

  • Developing an MS Excel Spreadsheet based on the RM of ISO 13606.

Clinical Team MS Excel spreadsheet with the Entry modelling results. 90 days
Terminology Analysis and Identification Validating term lists, domain table, classifications and terminology to be used.
  • Analyzing applicable descriptive terminology;

  • Analyzing term lists and domain tables for data element validation;

  • Complementing the archetype modelling with the inclusion of term lists, domain tables and terminology.
