The openEHR Foundation is an international non-profit foundation founded in 2000, with the ambition to make interoperable and lifelong electronic health records (EHR) a reality and improve medical care in the information society through the open standard specification openEHR. The foundation is dedicated to the development of specifications, open source software and tools for the creation of adaptable health computing systems and patient-centric electronic health records. The focus in openEHR is not on how different systems exchange data with each other, but on architecture, reference models and especially archetype models for standardization of data, irrespective of the application of such data. The term openEHR is used both for the foundation and its published work. The first version, openEHR 1.0, was released in February 2006, and the latest version, openEHR 1.0.2 was published on New Year’s Eve in 2008. [extent to which openEHR and other SSOs overlap?
