Why e-Health Standards mostly don’t work
- OMG, HSSP and hopes for better e-Health standardisation
- e-Health standards Crisis
- Part I – on needs; the basic problem: ‘developing standards’ instead of sourcing them from industry; why ‘choosing standards’ creates hell for vendors and users alike, and may cost millions more than developing something that actually works; why ideas from open source are relevant.
- Part II – a survey of standards orgs and bad standards; useful ideas from IHE, IHTSDO, HITSP and openEHR
- Part IIa – what we can learn from OMG
- Part 3 – some ideas for solving the disaster.
- What needs fixing in e-Health?
- What’s missing from most e-health standards – DESIGN
- Problems and lessons from HL7
- the CDA ‘dual content’ problem
- The problem with Null flavours – Part I, Part II

- How HL7 could ‘refresh’
openEHR in the World
- post – openEHR in Norway (2013) – the symbiosis between one innovative vendor (DIPS) and its clinical user base
- openEHR ‘who’s using it?’ page
DCMs, archetypes, clinical element models
- Why three layers of models are needed – information model, archetypes, templates. Why it matters to large scale e-health.
- Stan Huff’s pioneering Clinical Element Models at Intermountain Health. Stan’s ecosystem was created independently of openEHR’s, but the resulting landscape of formalisms, tools and concepts is nearly identical.
- Just the facts Jack – what is a DCM anyway?
- Model Visualisation –
- openEHR archetype visualisation
- How mindmaps help clinical modellers… and technical people
- The role of patterns in archetype modelling
