Reviews

You can use a review to give an overall view of a template, rather than contribute comments intended to help develop a it.

Comments are not available on templates based on standardised tools, so leave a review if you want to recommend a template, or advise others on weaknesses in the evidence or problems in using it.

Add a review of this template.

The template is a list of data items that could make a form- below you see the data items, and alongside each, there is a note of the kind of data that could be recorded against them.

You can see any comments by clicking on the 'show x comments' beside each item, or click 'add comment' to have your say.

er – what about a photo – can this be handled?

These templates are information models, and so we leave the use interface to however they are implemented.
I suppose if an image was included in the implementation, you might still want the structured description?
In that case, the image would be an extra, added in implementation.
If it becomes a more important data item, then it should be included in the template as an ‘image’ datatype.

should this be defined in terms of a standard orientation e.g. the axis of a limb. Or is it just the larger of 2 dimensions that we call length, then the lesser one width?
