EHRclassThe EHR object is the root object and access point of an EHR for a subject
of care.
EHRartifact
ehrpackageThe EHR IM defines the containment and context semantics of the concepts EHR,
COMPOSITION, SECTION, and ENTRY. These classes are the major coarse-grained
components of the EHR, and correspond directly to the classes of the same names
in CEN EN13606:2005 and fairly closely to the levels of the same names in the
HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) release 2.0.
ehrpackageThe EHR service model defines the coarse-grained interface to electronic health record service. The level of granularity is openEHR Contributions and Compositions, i.e. a version-control / change-set interface.
Part of the model defines the semantics of server-side querying, i.e. queries which cause large amounts of data to be processed, generally returning small aggregated answers, such as averages, or sets of ids of patients matching a particular criterion.
ehr_accessattributeReference to EHR_ACCESS object for this EHR.
EHR_ACCESSclassEHR-wide access contol object. All access decisions to data in the
EHR must be made in accordance with the policies and rules in this
object.

ehr_class_diag (rm)class diagramClass diagram for the openEHR rm.ehr package.
ehr_cvclass viewClass view for rm.ehr package.
ehr_dvdeployment view
ehr_extractpackageThe EHR Extract IM defines how an EHR extract is built from COMPOSITIONs, demographic, and access control information from the EHR. A number of Extract variations are supported, including full openEHR , a simplified form for integration with CEN EN13606, and an openEHR/openEHR synchronisation Extract.
ehr_idattributeThe id of this EHR.
ehr_statusattributeReference to EHR_STATUS object for this EHR.
EHR_STATUSclassSingle object per EHR giving various EHR-wide information.
EHR_STATUSartifact
ELEMENTclassThe leaf variant of ITEM, to which a DATA_VALUE instance is attached.
ELEMENTartifact
element_at_pathoperationReturn the leaf element at the path a_path'.
encapsulatd_class_diagclass diagramClasses in the rm.data_types.encapsulated package.
Includes DV_ENCAPSULATED, DV_MULTIMEDIA, DV_PARSABLE.
encapsulatedpackageThe data_types.encapsulated package contains classes representing data values whose internal
structure is defined outside the EHR model, such as multimedia and parsable data.
encapsulated_deploydeployment diagramShows testing module layout for rm.data_types.encapsulated package.
encapsulated_dvdeployment view
encapsulated_testartifactA module for testing the rm.datatypes.encapsulated package.
encodingrelationName of character encoding scheme in which this value is encoded. Coded from openEHR
Code Set character sets . Unicode is the default assumption in openEHR, with UTF-8
being the assumed encoding. This attribute allows for variations from these assumptions.
encodingattributeName of character set in which text values in this Entry are encoded.
Coded from openEHR Code Set character sets .
encpsulated_cvclass view
end_timeattributeOptional end time of the clinical session.
entrypackageThe rm.composition.content.entry package.
All information which is created in the openEHR health record is expressed as an instance
of a class in the entry package, containing the ENTRY class and a number of descendants.
An ENTRY instance is logically a single clinical statement', and may be a single short
narrative phrase, but may also contain a significant amount of data, e.g. an entire
microbiology result, a psychiatric examination, a complex prescription. In terms of actual
content, the Entry classes are the most important in the openEHR EHR Information Model,
since they define the semantics of all the hard' information in the record.
They are intended to be archetyped, and in fact, archetypes for Entries make up the vast
majority of important clinical archetypes defined.
ENTRYclassThe abstract parent of all ENTRY subtypes. An ENTRY is the root of a logical item
of hard clinical information created in the clinical statement context, within a
clinical session. There can be numerous such contexts in a clinical session.
Observations and other Entry types only ever document information captured/created
in the event documented by the enclosing Composition.
An ENTRY is also the minimal unit of information any query should return, since a
whole ENTRY (including subparts) records spatial structure, timing information,
and contextual information, as well as the subject and generator of the information.
ENTRYartifact
entry_class_diag (rm)class diagramClass diagram for the rm.composition.content.entry package.
Includes abstract ENTRY class and the primary entry classes
OBSERVATION, EVALUATION, INSTRUCTION, ACTION.

EVALUATIONclassEntry type for evaluation statements.
Used for all kinds of statements which evaluate other information, such as
interpretations of obvservations, diagnoses, differential diagnoses, hypotheses,
risk assessments, goals and plans.
Should not be used for actionable statements such as medication orders -
these are represented using the INSTRUCTION type.
EVALUATIONartifact
EVENTclassDefines the abstract notion of a single event in a series. This class is generic,
allowing types to be generated which are locked to particular spatial types, such
as EVENT<ITEM_LIST>. Subtypes express point or intveral data.
EVENTartifact
eventattributeEvent which fires this transition.
event_alignmentoperationEvent alignment extracted from value.
event_alignmentoperationEvent alignment extracted from value.
event_alignmentoperationIndicates what real-world event the specification is aligned to if any.
Extracted from the value' attribute.
EVENT_CONTEXTclassDocuments the context information of a healthcare event involving the subject of
care and the health system. The context information recorded here are
independent of the attributes recorded in the version audit, which document the
system interaction context, i.e. the context of a user interacting with the health
record system. Healthcare events include patient contacts, and any other business
activity, such as pathology investigations which take place on behalf of the patient.
eventsrelationThe events in the series.
excludesattributeList of constraints defining other archetypes that cannot be included at this point.
existenceattributeConstraint on every attribute, regardless of whether it is singular or of a container type,
which indicates whether its target object exists or not (i.e. is mandatory or not).
existenceattribute
expiry_timeattributeOptional expiry date/time to assist determination of when an
Instruction can be assumed to have expired. This helps prevent
false listing of Instructions as Active when they clearly must have
been terminated in some way or other.

the context of the root identifier.

separator if any, or else any empty String.
EXTERNAL_ENVIRONMENT_ACCESSclassA mixin class providing access to services in the external environment.
external_refrelationOptional reference to more detailed demographic or identification information
for this party, in an external system.
