‘Treatment’
does have a slight remediation connotation connected to it, whereas Regimen
does not.
Regimen
could be:
-
Preventative
-
Remedial
-
Optimizing
-
Diagnostic
I
favor both Treatment & Regimen over PrescriptionTemplate, as the former
choices fit better with our medical vernacular.
Regimen
is my new favorite.

Subject: [saf] Issue 015 - alternatives to Protocol
Proposals for
replacement for Protocol/Prescription:
PrescriptionTemplate
/ PrescriptionInstance. Not really class/instance relationship.
PrescriptionTemplate
/ Prescription (leave latter unchanged).
PrescriptionClass
/ PrescriptionInstance. Not really class/instance relationship.
Prescription /
Prescription (but make distinction in the spec).
[[Paul]] Confusing?
Prescription /
PrescriptionInstance. Not really class/instance relationship.
Treatment /
Prescription. Treatment doesn’t capture diagnostics,
optimizations??
[[Paul]] It does. Treatments routinely
include diagnostics. I treat you with Coumadin (a blood thinner and monitor
kidney function). Or I you come into an allergist’s office complaining of
allergies and treatment consists of evaluation your allergies with tests before
deciding on a treatment regimen.
I suppose you could use the class of
Regimen, too, for that matter! :-)
