Hi, If this seems scary and confusing, that is normal
Essentially openEHR is a specification that allows people to build health data repositories that are vendor and technology-neutral. openEHR CDRs are very flexible health datastores that can immediately store and query new kinds of clinical data, without any re-programming or database reconfiguration. As an implementer of e.g a rare disease registry application, you would upload definitions of the data you need using 'templates' themselves built of open-source 'archetypes' e.g blood pressure, lab test. We are actually involved in helping build a very extensive Rare disease register in the UK as part of a Genomics England project and are starting to share our models at http://clinicalmodels.org.uk/ckm/#showProject_1051.61.28. The whole of this http://www.xmind.net/m/ZvDB dataset has now been modelled in openEHR and we will be uploading it to the UK CKM site over the next couple of weeks. To make use of these you need to get access to an openEHR CDR (Clinical data repository). There are a number of commercial products available and at least two high quality open-source engines. You should definitely explore Pablo's Cabolabs CDR https://github.com/ppazos/ and the EtherCis CDR https://github.com/ethercis/ethercis I can also arrange access to a free cloud-hosted CDR via the NHS Code4Health program, for demo use only. https://code4health.org/platform For an overview of openEHR https://www.slideshare.net/OceanInformatics/smart-data-smarter-healthcare For an overview of the clinical modelling aspects: https://www.slideshare.net/OceanInformatics/smart-data-smarter-healthcare and Pablo has some great presentations on the technical aspects of CDRs but you almost certainly do not want to try to build your own https://www.slideshare.net/pablitox/design-and-implementation-of-clinical-databases-using-openehr?qid=87811c0b-44fb-434d-9123-79793add44ba&v=&b=&from_search=1 Hope this helps - more information on your project would help us point you in the right direction.
