[COAS-List] Patient record and categories

["Peter Nicklin" <peter.nicklin@newcastle.ac.uk>]

Dear COAS

Some time ago I undertook to prepare a patient record scenario and 
to map some general categories against some of the entries on the 
Sonomed microglossay.  These two are attached (only 6K).

The patient record scenario is simple, but I have checked it with a 
clinician and it is accurate.  It is also representative of the kind 
of all encompassing "Electronic Health record" that is the 
centrepiece of the UK's newly published health information strategy.  
The strategy can be found on:

www.imt4nhs.exec.nhs.uk/strategy/index.htm

The government is taking it very seriously indeed - seriously enough 
to be committing GBP 300 million (USD half billion) of new money, per 
year for the next seven years.

Regards

Peter
