Information
## **Overview and Further Information on openEHR**
Welcome to Our Information Page on openEHR - it is the international standard for the structured and interoperable representation of health data. It enables the sustainable, flexible, and semantically precise capture of medical information—providing a future-proof foundation for modern digital health systems.
If you're interested in the fundamentals, technical concepts, and practical applications of openEHR, you've come to the right place. [On this page](https://www.highmed.org/en/introduction-openehr?hsLang=en), you'll find comprehensive information about the core principles, architecture, and open specifications that define the standard. We also present a variety of use cases—from electronic health records and research to public health and cross-sectoral care.
Discover how openEHR contributes to improved data quality, interoperability, and the long-term usability of medical data — and why an increasing number of healthcare organizations [around the world](https://www.highmed.org/en/worldwide-openehr?hsLang=en) are adopting this open standard.
### **Getting Started with openEHR – Concepts & Use Cases**
Are you interested in the fundamentals of openEHR?
We offer clear and accessible insights into key concepts such as **archetypes**, **templates**, and **modules**. Discover how openEHR creates a sustainable and interoperable data foundation by separating domain knowledge from technical implementation.
### **Co-Creation & Community**
Professionals from medicine, nursing, IT, and related fields are invited to actively contribute to the modeling of archetypes, templates, and modules. Via our [contact page](https://www.highmed.org/en/contact-german-openehr-modelinggroup?hsLang=en), you can join the **German openEHR Modeling Group (GoEMG)** and help shape the ongoing development of the openEHR standard.
### **Developments within the HiGHmed Consortium**
As part of the **HiGHmed consortium**, innovative applications based on openEHR are being developed. Learn more about key projects such as:
- [EHR-show](https://www.ehrshow.eu/) – Demonstrations showcasing the use of interoperable health data,
- **EHR-network** – Infrastructure for secure data exchange across a distributed European network (expected by the end of 2025)
- [HIVEPro](https://www.highmed.org/en/hivepro?hsLang=en) – Advanced analytics tools for structured health data.
### **International Activities & Community Resources**
openEHR is active worldwide. [Here ](https://openehr.org/)you’ll find information about projects and initiatives led by **openEHR International**, as well as access to global forums and networks.
More resources available on our Community page:
- Access to the **HiGHmed Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM)** –
the central tool for modeling and managing clinical knowledge,
- An **up-to-date event calendar** featuring key dates and events related to openEHR,
