These Terms of Use explain about the CKM service, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities for us and for you.
Our CKM service
The openEHR Foundation is dedicated to the development of freely available clinical content artefacts that can be shared and re-used. The intent is that these artefacts can be used as a common basis for recording and exchanging health information, to simplify aggregation of data, to support knowledge-based activities and for comparative data analysis. Broad engagement with clinicians and other domain experts will be encouraged in order to ensure that these artefacts will be useful in many countries and across a broad range of clinical contexts.
...
- It is a library of computable clinical artefacts, such as archetypes, templates and terminology reference sets, plus related resources,
- It promotes international collaboration by domain experts, especially the involvement of clinicians, to develop the clinical artefacts and to verify that these are ‘fit for purpose’ in eHealth software applications.
- It provides a framework and processes to support governance of the clinical artefacts.
