...

titleWhy should I register?

If you are not yet a registered user of the international openEHR Clinical Knowledge Manager, you should consider to register:

The impact of CKM and its ability to publish archetypes and EHR artefacts will only come from the willingness and activity of its registered community of users.

As a registered user, you can become an active participant in the development and quality improvement of open and shared clinical content for eHealth projects via the collaborative CKM community:

  • watch and adopt archetypes and other knowledge resources;

  • join in review rounds;

  • participate in discussions;

  • submit change requests

  • submit translations of archetypes into 'your' language.

You will be also able to configure CKM to notify you about new archetypes or modifications to the existing ones.

Most importantly, by recording your domain expertise and a willingness to participate in archetype reviews, the Editors will be able to invite you to participate in projects and teams where your expert opinion will help to enhance the archetypes under review. This involves no commitment – participate as and when it is convenient for you.

If you have developed your own archetypes you can submit them to the Editors as a candidate for shared use within CKM.

Without registering, you can still view all of the CKM content, but not get access to all the good stuff 'under the hood'.

All visitors to CKM are welcome to self-register on the home page - there are no restrictions, and this will enable users to participate and to gain access to richness of CKM functionality.

titleHow can I create a CKM account for myself, i.e. register?

titleWhere can I find more information about the openEHR approach itself?

The Clinical Knowledge Manager is standing on the shoulders of the openEHR approach, an open domain-driven platform for developing flexible e-health systems.

The openEHR approach is multi-level, single source modelling within a service-oriented software architecture, in which models built by domain experts are in their own layer. It is delineated by a set of specifications published by the openEHR Foundation.

If you don't know about openEHR yet, the following are good starting points:

Yes.

What is an archetype?

An archetype is a re-usable, formal definition of domain level information, defined in terms of constraints on an information model.
The key feature of the archetype approach to computing is a complete separation of information models (such as object models of software, models of database schemas) from domain models. 

Have a look at the dedicated Archetype FAQs on the general openEHR wiki for more details.

Often it simply helps to have a look at some of them - for example check out the Blood Pressure archetype on the openEHR CKM.

titleI have a suggestion to improve an archetype - what can I do?

The first option is to submit a new change request for the archetype: Just find and open the archetype and click on the Change Request icon, and then on the "Add New Change Request" button.

The second option to let the CKM editors in charge know about your suggestion is to start a new discussion topic for the archetype.
You can use this especially if the suggestion is not yet well defined, but rather a topic of discussion at present.

Just find an open the archetype, and click on the Discussion icon. Then use the "Start New Topic" button.
