Hi Thomas

Mr. A. Orban, head of NCZI have ivited today Mr. Martin Foltin, the vice dean of FEI STU and head of NCA STU for short briefing.

He had informed Martin, that NCZI will initiate the break of contract between NCZI and STU concerning NCA

Because we do not follow the CEN 13 606 but OpenEHR.

I will have meeting tomorow with Michal D to investigate next steps.

If you could have some advice for us, how to succesfulle defend this attack , pls. Provide me some hints

Thank you

Hi Peter,

I think it is pretty clear that openEHR and 13606 are headed for a very significant convergence as the next update of 13606 takes place and the CIMI work progresses. There has been substantial discussion between developers/implementers in the 2 communities on these lists and the openEHR wiki, with a real willingness to learn from each other's experiences. Many of the tools such as AWB and the LinkEHR editor work with both, several jurisdictions use openEHR tools to deliver 13606 archetypes , as the transforms are generally straightforward, and significant value of tools such as CKM to gather and review clinical content is really agnostic of any Reference Model.

There is some interesting news about to emerge from CIMI, which in my opinion, makes the very close alignment of openEHR and 13606 even more likely .. watch this space ...

Thank you Ian, for good advices.

I guess, all wise people, dealing with AT and 13 606, with standards, to build proper future constructuion of national/european/global

Health solutions understand the advantages of OpenEHR approach and necessity of convergence with 13606, which is only part of the solution currently.

There is in fact a business imperative, sourceing in NEss and NCZI still listen to the master voice.

I will prepare the defending letter, utilising all your input concerning expected merge of OpenEHR and 13606, NCA role

In educationg the medical and IT professionals and advantages of archetypes for national eH system.

Than we will see.

Thanks and best regards0
