Hi Tim,
I continue to struggle with the complexity of what is going on in
the EHR Standards and implementation space.
I wrote an article for my blog which reflects a more general concern
yesterday - that others seem to share - regarding the frameworks for
and implementation status of not only openEHR, but also HL7 V3.0,
SNOMED CT and CEN/ISO 13606.
I wonder if we may not have bitten off just a bit more than we can
intellectually chew with all this and may need to try for a simpler
and more accessible way forward.
I am more than prepared to admit the nuances of all this have me beat.
See my blog article (address below) for some rambling thoughts on all this.

Probably - big bang; big bust. But government just loves buying white
elephants that can sing and dance.
Standards make some sense, but everybody who intends using them needs
to try to participate in some way.
Same old problem of technocrats in charge producing outcomes which
mean nothing to "businesses".
