Description | Example | |
---|---|---|
Concept name | Succinct name that encompasses the scope and intent of the archetype. | Blood pressure |
INSTRUCTION archetype names will include the word 'order' or equivalent.

Concept description | Definition of the 'Concept name'. The intent of the definition is to define it as clinician's apply the concept in clinical practice, not the academic or dictionary definition of the concept | "The local measurement of arterial blood pressure which is a surrogate for arterial pressure in the systemic circulation." |
Purpose | Preface with "To record "... or similar. | |
Use | Preface with "Use to record "... or similar. Ensure alignment with Purpose if appropriate.

Misuse | Preface with "Not to be used"... or similar. |

References within published archetypes should be consistent with Citing Medicine, 2nd edition - The NLM Style Guide for Authors, Editors, and Publishers | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7256/?amp=&depth=2. | ||
The National Library of Medicine provides an easy way to ensure consistent formatting through the use of a bibliography tool that can automatically configure citations for a variety of different publications. If the required citation is not found within the PubMed search then the link above will support manual formatting, eg for parts of websites. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/myncbi/ | ||
