Dear Eunice, For info, although NHS Data Standards & Products has worked with openEHR archetypes in the past, we are currently working on developing care record content models that use the EN/ISO 13606 reference model and ISO 21090 data types (both with a relationship to, but not exactly the same as, openEHR's technical infrastructure), alongside a modelling approach that seeks to make as much use as possible of the SNOMED CT clinical concept hierarchy, as well as re-usable ELEMENT models and terminology constraints. Do please feel free to get in touch with me, if you'd like more information about current NHS 'central' activities in this area.
We also continue communications with Thomas and Ian (and others) to maintain links with the openEHR community, and hopefully will be able to provide a clearer picture of how NHS content and openEHR archetypes fit together in the coming months.

I was thinking whether there was a centrally funded team dedicated to developing archetypes for data standard developers. I was wondering whether if one was involved in a development work for clinical systems and notice that new archetypes are required, whether one could request for the archetype development free. I can see this is not the way things work.... Thanks so much.

Many of the archetypes currently on CKM have their origins in work supported and funded by the English NHS. There are other people and places doing development, particularly NEHTA in Australia - see http://dcm.nehta.org.au/ckm/#<http://dcm.nehta.org.au/ckm/> who I understand are funding both editorial and clinical review time. As you will see from my other reply, this is an emerging space and it is difficult to answer your question directly without knowing more about what you are trying to do in the NHS context. By all means email me directly if you want to discuss privately. I am based in the UK and reasonably familiar with the various UK standards development efforts (for better or worse!!).

I wanted to confirm whether one can request for archetype development for free if one does not currently exist. Are there any costs associated with this? Many thanks.
