Sitting in an office listening to the every day twitterings of work colleagues around you is quite fascinating.
Do people believe expressing their problems out loud will help them or just ease the pain knowing that others can share their dilemma?
The current discussion going on around me is by a bunch of Information Modellers. They are discussing the fact of whether modelling attributes as 'Item Details' or 'Note Details' or 'Item Note Details' in a Prescription message is useful and sensible? Three of them think it is, one of them doesn't. The one that doesn't has a problem with the word 'detail', apparently it's not meaningful.
Maybe they have a point, but maybe none of them have a point.
While I appreciate the detail and use of comprehensive, coherent models, I can't help question at which point do you stop with the modelling because it's OK, it's good enough for now, and get on with the implementation and delivery aspects of Health IT?
Do we model forever because it's a riveting conversation to have over coffee or is there a means to an end that may possibly be to have some real use in real systems??
I think the former may be the order of the day for this office for sometime to come, unfortunately, thank goodness for headphones....
