Late last year I said I would work on some material to help explain openEHR in the wider context of healthcare change during 2010.
It has taken me longer that I originally planned but I've recently shared some articles online towards that end. http://frectal.com/book/ The articles explore issues such as Healthcare under pressure, Complexity of healthcare+management+IT, Change and the elements within Aligning process improvement efforts with IT In the final articles I explore healthcare change going forward, the need for better IT and particularly why I believe openEHR has the potential to tackle the complexity and diversity of healthcare.. http://frectal.com/book/healthcare-change-the-way-forward/ http://frectal.com/book/healthcare-change-the-way-forward/healthcare-openehr%e2%80%99s-potential-to-handle-complexity-diversity/ In the spirit of evolutionary change, they are up in draft form for now, so comments on any article are welcome.. Hope you find it of some interest/value in explaining openEHR's place in the wider world. Please feel free to share..
