Hi everyone, Recently Gartner released a survey of EHR suppliers in the Norwegian market<http://www.regjeringen.no/pages/38845466/gartner_survey_ehr_suppliers_systems_norwegian_market.pdf>, as commissioned by the Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services. In the report, they stated the following (bullet and footnote, page 26 of PDF file):
"OpenEHR and archetypes is an example of CIMIs1 (Clinical Information Modeling Initiative). CIMI and thus OpenEHR are regarded by Gartner to be an immature standard." "1 The OpenEHR is not a standard that is visible in the Hype Cycle for Healthcare Provider Technologies and Standards, 2013, it is part of several initiatives mentioned as CIMI "Clinical Information Modeling Initiative" in the Hype Cycle. CIMI is very low on the hype. There is still a long way to go before the impact of CIMI or other detailed clinical modeling efforts becomes clear to the developers and users of EHR systems. We include it on the Hype Cycle primarily to keep it on the radar screen of academic users and other developers of clinical systems. " This doesn't seem right to me; for some reason they make openEHR out to be a part of CIMI. Could anyone comment on this? This evaluation by Gartner has been cited in several other (Norwegian language) reports on health IT in Norway, and if it's incorrect or inaccurate we might need to make a statement about this as soon as possible.
