The openEHR-Community: Connect, Co-Create, Apply
Welcome to the central platform for everyone involved in — or interested in — openEHR and digital modeling in healthcare. Our community brings together individuals and professionals from a wide range of fields, including hospitals, medical practices, IT and software development, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare organizations, and engaged patients. Our mission is to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and highlight practical pathways for applying openEHR in real-world settings.
Build Knowledge: Fundamentals & Application
Our openEHR information page provide well-founded, practical insights into the world of openEHR. We explain the core concepts and demonstrate how openEHR supports the sustainable, interoperable, and structured representation of medical data. Key elements such as archetypes, templates, and modules are explored in detail, along with their practical implementation. Our goal is to foster a solid understanding of clinical content modeling — as a foundation for successfully applying openEHR in clinical information systems.
Get Involved: Actively Shape Clinical Modeling
Want to do more than just read about openEHR? Our community offers many ways to actively contribute — whether you're a clinical expert or a technically skilled developer. You can register with the German openEHR Modeling Group (GoEMG) via our contact page.
There, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with other professionals in designing, discussing, and refining clinical information models — always with a focus on high content quality and real-world applicability.
Use the Tools: HiGHmed CKM
The HiGHmed Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM) is a central tool that supports the development, management, and sharing of clinical models. As an essential component of the HiGHmed consortium, the CKM serves as a collaborative platform for everyone involved in creating and maintaining standardized information models. By using the CKM, the quality assurance and reusability of clinical content are significantly enhanced — making it a key building block for the digital transformation of healthcare.
Connect: Events & Exchange
Personal and professional exchange is a key part of our community. Our event calender features up-to-date listings of workshops, webinars, community meetups, and conferences related to openEHR and more — including international formats such as the Int. openEHR Forum. Take advantage of these opportunities to connect with fellow enthusiasts and experts, gain new insights, and actively contribute to the ongoing development of openEHR.
Together, We Shape the Digital Future of Healthcare for …
