Despite any such obscurity of boards, licenses and standards - perceived and actual - and I too am slightly skeptical - ... I think we cannot but applaud the openEHR in its putting online of the CKM system - which democratizes the process of specifying archetypes - in a way previously unheard in healthcare standards collaboration. Okay if archetype specs are wrong then this collaboration is undermined, but the CKM is quite a leap forward after a decade or two - don't you think? \Gavin Brelstaff CRS4
