## Post #1 by @thomas.beale

The latest edition of Microsoft's Connected Health Framework \- a
strategy based on the idea of 'knowledge\-driven health' \(see
http://www.microsoft.com/industry/healthcare/technology/HealthFramework.mspx)
\- includes openEHR \(ISO 13606\-2\) archetypes as part of its domain
knowledge architecture\. There is much worth reading in this set of
documents, including a good analysis of the problem space, deployment
scenarios and issues, semantic and services architecture and much else
besides\.

<opinion>
The quality of this work may surprise some used to working mostly in the
open source world\. To those sceptics, I would recommend a read\. It can
only be a good thing if domain\-enabling from the openEHR
knowledge\-oriented health computing platform appear in both open source
and commercial platforms such as Microsoft Windows\.
