  The Brazilian Ministry of Health has selected the openEHR model as a standard
for electronic health record systems. This paper presents a set of archetypes
to represent the main data from the Brazilian Public Hospital Information
System and the High Complexity Procedures Module of the Brazilian public
Outpatient Health Information System. The archetypes from the public openEHR
Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM), were examined in order to select archetypes
that could be used to represent the data of the above mentioned systems. For
several concepts, it was necessary to specialize the CKM archetypes, or design
new ones. A total of 22 archetypes were used: 8 new, 5 specialized and 9 reused
from CKM. This set of archetypes can be used not only for information exchange,
but also for generating a big anonymized dataset for testing openEHR-based
systems.
