I would like to understand more about this project. 5 million USD is a very small budget for a national EHR. Is this just for the modelling? What is the purpose of the EHR? Regards Hugh --- ## Post #10 by @system Of course congratulations, it seems good news for the OpenEHR community, but I do not understand the meaning of the message\. Does it say that ISO13606 will be a message format, and openEhr will be the storage model of a national EHR in Japan? Or does it say something else? Please enlighten us, or have some pointers to more information\.
