ARCHETYPE Harris Hip Score (HHS) (openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.harris_hip.v0)

ARCHETYPE IDopenEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.harris_hip.v0
ConceptHarris Hip Score (HHS)
DescriptionAn assessment score used to evaluate the functional capacity of an individual following hip surgery.
Use

Use to record:

  • the results for each component parameter and their total sum for the Harris Hip Score, which includes both patient-reported measures of pain and function and clinician-assessed findings of range of motion and deformity; and
  • the results for the subset of parameters that form the Modified Harris Hip Score, which includes only the patient-reported components from the original Harris Hip Score and omits all clinician-assessed examination findings.
  • the score for the Modified Harris Hip Score, recorded as either:
    -- a 'raw' score, being the actual sum of the patient-reported components, with a maximum value of 91; and
    -- a 'normalised' score, representing the raw score expressed on a 0–100 scale for comparability with the original Harris Hip Score.

While openEHR archetypes are all freely available under an open license, it is not clear if the specific content of this Harris Hip Score archetype is copyright protected. The original source was published in 1969 by Dr William Harris. Any use of this archetype within implementations should be in compliance with the terms established by the copyright owners, if available.

PurposeTo record the results for each component parameter and their total sum for the clinician-assessed Harris Hip Score (HHS), and the associated patient-reported outcome measure, the Modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS).
