ARCHETYPE IDopenEHR-EHR-EVALUATION.death_summary.v1
ConceptDeath summary
DescriptionSummary information about the circumstances and context of the death of an individual, excluding the cause(s) of death.
UseUse to record summary information about the circumstances and context of the death of an individual, excluding the cause(s) of death. This archetype has been designed to carry the details about the death of an individual that only need to be recorded once within a health record, including, but not limited to: - the date and time of death; - the place of death, as a category, named place or an address; - context about the death of a mother giving birth; - context about the death of a newborn; and - manner and circumstances related to the death. It is anticipated that one or more data elements in this archetype may be used in the following use cases: - Death certificate - date/time of death and location of death; - Post mortem report - describing known circumstances related to the death, including information related to maternal, fetal or neonatal death. - Disease registries.
MisuseNot to be used to record information about the formal cause(s) of death - use EVALUATION.cause_of_death for this purpose. Not to be used to record information about post-mortem examination findings such as lividity or rigor mortis - use appropriate examination-related findings within the COMPOSITION.report-post_mortem container archetype. Not to be used to record information about vital status - use OBSERVATION.vital_status for this purpose.
PurposeTo record summary information about the circumstances and context of the death of an individual, excluding the cause(s) of death.
