Foundation

Strategy Planning

The first Strategy planning meeting of the openEHR Foundation Board was held on 25th May, and outcomes from this meeting will be reported at a later date.

Membership

Consideration is being given to providing a new level to our membership structure, allowing for Government, Academic and Non-Industry organisations with an interest in openEHR to be brought into membership.

Academic Research Repository

We have set up agroup repository for openEHR related publications and other related material (e.g. presentations, blogs, videos and more!) using Zotero, a freely available reference manager. From the openEHR website we have provided links to the web-based repository from the Getting Involved/Universities & Research page,  where you can browse/search and view bibliographic information. 

It is being updated regularly, but if you think an openEHR related resource should be there we would appreciate it if you could email us the detail to koray.atalag@openehr.org.  

If you have legitimate access to paywalls via your university/organisation you can ask to be added as a member so you can also gain access to full text. The collection is organised in categories – with the first three being:

1)Foundational

2)Theses and dissertations

3)Introduction-Primers

We hope you’ll find this resource helpful and also help us better manage it by letting us know about new material.  If you also use Zotero as your reference manager and would be willing to help us keep it up to date, please email koray.atalag@openehr.org.
