Abstract

A continuing global desire to be using clinical systems within a digital health ecosystem, able to facilitate data flows and information exchange as required to support person-centred, predictive, preventative, participatory and precision (5p) health and medical care can best be supported through the use of the standard categorial structure able to represent not only the clinical nursing practice domain but also other clinical disciplines by the generic labelling of some high-level categories. It is hypothesised that adoption of this generic clinical categorial structure within any electronic health/medical record within a well connected digital health ecosystem, supported by a cloud based openEHR platform, will enable the 5p support to be realized. This presentation provides the results of the latest update of this technical standard based on the 20+ year nursing practice categorial structure development process adopted to achieve this aim and a summary about linking this categorial structure to standard terminologies and to standard EHR/EMR system architectures.
