267 | 268 | The terms ‘observation’, ‘evaluation’ etc defined above are not themselves the same as information types, since they refer to a variety of phenomena within the process: information from observations, the activity of evaluation, acts of intervention, and goal statements. To be more precise, we are mainly interested in information created by the investigator system, since this notional agent encompasses any person or device who/which performs any healthcare related task, including the patient herself. The investigator system is therefore the creator of all clinical information in the health record, including patient-entered data. A small amount of administrative information may also end up in the EHR, generally created by non-clinical actors in the organisational context. |
