Abstract

We describe a proposal of improvement for clinical models of the OpenEHR standard according to the realism-based assumptions. In order to reach such proposal, we analyze OpenEHR entry model and realism-based ontologies created specifically for Medicine. Thus, we check our approach in a test bed of real medical records. Finally, we suggest a new taxonomy with the aim to improve the entry model, and offer conclusions from our underway research.
