Category:Template

Definition: A template is a constraint specification applied to one or more archetypes. Templates are used to create definitions of content for specific applications such as a particular document or message, specific use cases, screen forms, message types or reports. Templates are defined using the same constraint formalism as archetypes - i.e. the AOM. Typical examples include 'acute care discharge summary', 'GP referral' and radiology report'.
