Is it possible to have a generic process model in Healthcare?
In Sweden, the National Board of Health and Welfare, commissioned by the Government according to the National Strategy for e-Health , has the task of defining a generic process model in Healthcare. The 3 year project, started 2007-01-01, will deliver guidance for content, structure and patient centric documentation. The starting point is the profession and the citizens demand of information.
This is a way to lay the foundations for the information needed in the complete chain of care involving different care providers. “The steps before IT”.
Now half-way in the project different stakeholders contribute, from their viewpoint, in producing semantic models, information models and process models. All with the same goal: make a common regulatory framework.
From the supplier side, care system providers, there are doubts if the mission is possible.
What do you think? Is it a too academic approach and the expected result reside “above the clouds”? Inventing the wheel again (HL7v3, openEHR...)? Any other nations have done it? I am eager hearing from YOU!
