although - it will probably come out to have multiple entry points. The 
13606 model is about what makes sense in EHR Extract messages. We built 
and implemented a more recent version of that, using lessons from 13606 
- the openEHR EHR Extract. There are undoubtedly a lot of lessons from 
13606 Extract use out there (there must be because nearly everyone 
implements the standard by changing, so that says something!).

However, other parts of openEHR are concerned with the logical semantics 
of in situ EHRs, not just messages travelling between systems. So I 
think there could be a common core, an EHR part and an EHR Extract part. 
Having one standard for that would be hugely useful for industry.
