openEHR day: Control of Healthcare Information

In recent years, there have been many initiatives in the Netherlands to gain more control over standardisation, registration, and exchange of healthcare information. Yet they did not find the right balance between simplicity, affordability, usability, reliability, and durability in practice. Based on the ambition to take ICT in Dutch healthcare to the next level, we want to present the open ecosystem principle based on openEHR in order to regain control of healthcare information. The openEHR technology, using standardized data models, separates healthcare data from application silos and monolithic EPDs.

This conference will discuss principles and best practices that combine or leverage open platforms and applications to create open ecosystems. We will focus on 3 themes:

• Collaboration between people and organizations
• Directing information
• Gradual transition
