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:



Registration Process

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.

The registration process is explained in more detail here.

titleI am missing a particular archetype on a specific topic, what can I do?

If you are missing a particular archetype, you can create a new archetype and submit your archetype as a 'Archetype Proposal' to the CKM repository.

Before you start development on new archetypes, we encourage you to first search thoroughly in CKM, including its incubators, and contact an editor of a CKM project that may be related to your archetype or a Clinical Knowledge Administrator first.
This is just so that we can avoid any duplication of work and frustration.

Here's a little introduction on how to Search for an archetypeArchetypes, Templates & Termsets in CKM.

To submit a proposal for a new archetype, select 'Archetype Proposals' from the main menu or find the 'Propose New Archetype' Quick Task on the new CKM Dashboard or choose Archetypes/Archetype Proposals from the main menu (when logged in).

titleWhy should I adopt an archetype and how?

Adopting an archetype in CKM serves a couple of different purposes.

  1. By adopting an archetype, CKM Users and Reviewers can express their interest in having the archetype reviewed for publication. As more people adopt archetypes, it will become self-evident what the openEHR community priorities are for archetypes that are required - adoptions will work a little like a vote!  Archetypes with the highest number of 'adopters' will be reviewed first.  In this way, the archetypes that are required by the community will be reviewed as a priority. 
  2. By adopting an archetype, the users also expresses an interest to participate in the review process for that archetype. When the review process starts, the user will be sent an invitation to review the archetype. This involves no commitment – participate as and when it is convenient for you. We encourage you to be involved because we are keen to integrate the various perspectives and potential differences from around the world in each archetype.
  3. By adopting an archetype, the archetype is made available in your Archetype Watchlist for easy access. 
  4. In addition, you can choose to get email notifications when the archetype is updated.

See more details and instructions on how to adopt an archetype and manage your archetype adoptions.
