Summary

On September 16 and 17 a general openEHR meeting was held in Lillestrom, near Oslo, with the intention of developing the roadmap for various key activities.
Thanks to DIPS asa, Norway, for organising and providing meeting rooms, catering and IT support.

Over 30 attendees included participants from 5 current openEHR vendor companies, new vendors, Norwegian and Swedish health organisations and universities, and various other organisations.

The meeting followed an agenda covering the following topics (details here):

  • specifications - physical format,
  • clinical modelling industry sprint
  • professionalism - training and certification
  • conformance and product accreditation
  • Community infrastructure, website
  • working with the openEHR Foundation: governance and membership
  • tooling, including next generation archetype / template / terminology editor

The meeting was very successful in terms of information sharing, discussions, and proposals.

Outcomes

Overall priorities

During the opening discussion, the following priorities were particularly mentioned:

  • Entry level openEHR - getting started is too hard
  • Deal with licensing FUD
  • Support for localisation, affiliate groups
  • Restarting specifications release work
  • Better tooling

Key presentations

  • Thomas Beale provided a brief scene-setting introduction, based on the concept of 'investible standards' from a recent blog post
  • Heather Leslie and Ian McNicoll presented the 'industry sprint', a funded archetype development activity to create 69 published archetypes on a short time frame in 2014/2015
  • Ian McNicoll presented on the UK HANDI-HOPD [NEED LINK], an openEHR-based health apps demonstration and learning space backed by the NHS
  • Rong and Iago presented on Guideline Definition Language (GDL), an ADL-like language for representing guidelines that Cambio has implemented
  • A brainstorm on conformance specification and methods was undertaken
  • Marand presented on IHE and FHIR
  • A brainstorm on the openEHR web presence was undertaken
  • Various people provided country updates for openEHR activity

Agreements and actions

  • The industry partners present endorsed the archetype industry sprint
  • A next generation Java archetype tooling project will be commenced.
    • A technical group will develop an outline architecture and project proposal in the next 3 weeks.
    • The project will be open source, and be open to developers from any organisation using archetypes.
  • Specifications:
    • review specifications governance - Thomas Beale, Erik Sundvall, Gunnar Klein
    • GDL and AQL will become formal specifications
    • rename ADL 1.5 to ADL 2.0 and develop a plan for creating 'interior versions'
    • all existing specifications will be converted to a new text-based form and publishing toolchain; new specifications will be developed in the new format; 
      • Asciidoc proposed as candidate - Bostjan Lah, Borut Fabjan, Thomas Beale to research and provide a proposal
    • specifications work will start as soon as the new openEHR.org server is up and running, and may commence with a simplified change process, by common consent of committer group.
  • Conformance
    • a technical group will get together and develop a conformance approach based on the brainstorm:
      • Borut Fabjan, Bostjan Lah (Marand), DIPS, Rong (Cambio), Code24, Thomas Beale (Ocean)
  • Infrastructure and website
    • the industry partners will fund new hosting and related infrastructure ASAP
