Hi everyone,

I’m Sheeren, part of the 2026 openEHR Fellowship cohort, and I’m currently shaping my fellowship project.

One area I’m exploring is the international CKM archetype review and contribution process. I’m interested in understanding how the process works in practice, where contributors or implementers may experience friction, what might make it easier for useful feedback or proposed changes to flow back into the wider community and whether AI has ever been considered for this.

I’ve been doing a Discourse deep dive, and I can see related issues have come up around specialisations, draft archetypes and knowledge being spread across different places.

I’m not assuming the process is broken. I’m more interested in optimisation - understanding what works well, where people get stuck, and whether the challenges are mainly related to communication, tooling, governance, editorial capacity, or process visibility.

I’d really appreciate any input on:

- Your experience with CKM reviews or archetype change requests
- existing documentation or threads I should read
- people or groups I can speak to

Thank you in advance. Any pointers would be very helpful while I figure out whether this is the fellowship project direction for me.

Sheeren

Hi @sheeren.khalifa

Sounds like a great topic.  
Happy to contribute in whatever way you see fit and gain new insights as well - I am the product lead for the Clinical Knowledge Manager.

If I remember correctly, you are in Australia. Happy to talk to you about this topic if you like, I am in Germany.

Sebastian

I agree with Sebastian, it’s a great topic.

I’d be happy to contribute as well, as one of the Clinical Knowledge Administrators. I’m going on holiday for 4 weeks after this week, but feel free to ping me any time and I’ll get back to you in August 😊

Hi Sheeren, I would also be happy to contribute. This is a really important topic, and I am also actively checking ways to make collaboration easier. I think a key challenge is reaching a wider community (sometimes we are not very good at this) and providing the resources needed to support it. But I believe it can be greatly improved.
