We’re pleased to announce the creation of the openEHR Software Program Board, a new governance body dedicated to coordinating, supporting, and promoting software developments within the openEHR ecosystem.

The Software Program Board reflects openEHR’s commitment to fostering collaboration, transparency and innovation through high-quality, standards-based software aligned with openEHR specifications and principles.

The Software Program Board will:

  • Oversee and prioritise software initiatives aligned with openEHR specifications and strategic objectives
  • Promote best practices in open development, governance, contribution models, and community engagement
  • Act as a bridge between openEHR communities, contributors, industry partners, and implementers.

As the demand for open digital health infrastructure continues to grow, this initiative will support scalable development efforts while maintaining consistency with openEHR’s open platform vision.

Launch Meeting

The kick-off meeting for the Software Program Board is scheduled for:

Thursday 19th February, 09:00 – 10:00 GMT via Teams

If you would like to attend, please email comms@openehr.org to be added.

We’re inviting developers, organisations and community members to get involved and help shape the future of software initiatives within openEHR.
