Recognising the advantage of a collaborative approach to clinical information model development, a group of companies, the openEHR Industry Alliance Group, have commissioned the publication of a set of archetypes hosted in the international openEHR Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM) repository .

 
Although the CKM repository hosts over 300 archetypes, due to editorial resource constraints only a small number have passed through the formal governance processes which allow vendors to implement them with confidence that they have been clinically assured and will follow established openEHR version control rules.
 
The Industry Group has contracted Ocean Informatics and freshEHR Clinical Informatics to deliver 69 key archetypes over a 4 month period, to be authored, clinically reviewed and published and to support wider interoperability via alignment with epSoS, C-CDA and FHIR.

Rapid Development Methodology
 
The Industry Group have asked the editors to adopt a rapid development methodology, such that publication is achieved within a brief timescale, with shorter and fewer review rounds than has been customary in the past, commonly only one or two review rounds per archetype. It is recognised that this may result in the occasional mis-step and that a published archetype may need future substantial revision but the Editors and Industry Group believe that this risk is low as set against the advantages  to implementers of a rapid development cycle and publication. 
 
Getting involved
  Image Added 
openEHR members or other stakeholders who have an interest in a particular archetype should ‘adopt’ that archetype in the international CKM to ensure that they are notified when a review round begins.
