Order Management
The examples in this section illustrate the use of TP for order management, where openEHR Instructions and Actions (or other non-openEHR equivalents) are created and tracked.
Order Coordination
This example is based on a standard Moscow City clinic protocol, and covers a 12 month period.
Plan Overview
The Work Plan shown above defines the tasks for a 'standard health check' that includes a chest x-ray, a full blood panel and a hypertension checkup. The Plan executes over the periof a year, and consists of a health coordinator creating orders for the three items, via UI forms. The result of creating these orders will be the creation of a normal Composition and Instruction in the openEHR EHR for the patient. At some later point in time, the coordinator will action these orders, which will cause the EHR data to be used to create appropriate API calls / messages to the relevant target systems (radiology clinic, pathology lab, consultant) that will further cause appointments and attendances in the normal way by the patient. Each of these 'execute order' Tasks will block and wait for appropriate callbacks resulting from each of the orders being fulfilled and corresponding Actions being committed to the EHR (or else timeouts, if nothing happens). With the received results, the coordinator creates a health summary for the patient and commits that to the EHR.
