By the introduction of the openEHR architecture, the MedView project started an investigation to migrate from its locally developed framework to openEHR. Issues related to this process, have been discussed in this paper.

Since openEHR is an emerging standard, designing a clinical decision support system (CDSS) based on it is an unexplored research area. According to our findings, so far, very few (almost none) openEHR-based CDSSs have been released. The methodological approach applied in developing an openEHR-based CDSS is presented in this paper. This includes typical activities in developing CDSSs in addition to the activities one needs to carry out in order to develop an openEHR-based system. In the first phase of this project, the focus has been on openEHR archetype design, knowledge acquisition, and choosing a suitable KRR method based on the available legacy patient records, i.e. a knowledge intensive case-based reasoning method, and the extracted general domain knowledge. We also propose an architecture for such a system with the aim of benefiting from the structured openEHR-based patient data in reasoning.

In this paper, we present results from a review on the related literature. The aim of this review was to find out to what extent CDS developers have actually considered EHR integration in developing CDS. We have also investigated how various clinical standards are taken into account by CDS developers.

Developing a usable CDSS is a challenging process; mostly because of the complex nature of domain knowledge and the context of use of those systems. This paper describes how a user centered design (UCD) approach can be used in a clinical context for developing a CDSS. In our effort, a design-based research methodology has been used. The outcomes of this work are as follow; a customized UCD approach is suggested that combines UCD and openEHR. Moreover, the GUI developed in the design phase and the result of the GUI evaluation is briefly presented.

Nevertheless, openEHR offers various benefits. This paper presents the issues related to developing an openEHR-based CDSS for this disease.
