As far as I am concerned, and the projects I work on, which are in fact quite some, all using my OpenEHR kernel as base system, but above, wonderful architectures of design in interoperability and GUI's.
The main reason for using OpenEHR is it flexibily, without writing new kernels, supporting many different goals, from homecare to hospitalized heartfailure-monitoring. We collect data from HL7v2, also some non-standard proprietary systems, whatever, if we find it, we write software to get the data. At this moment, data are mostly at the endstation in our system, but change is coming. There is a probably desire to export to vMR (HL7 standard). We are not afraid for that. Also for the Netherlands, we will in the near future need to support some HL7v3 messages, designed by Nictiz, in a way that a lot of medical information can be exchanged, and also, it is acceptable for most (very divers) system builders. The fact that OpenEHR has as goal that it wants to serve the world is not very usefull to us, in fact, it is even a little bit disturbing. We write out own archetypes and we learn a lot from CKM. We don't want a third party to tell us, that we should conform to a global standard, we just like freedom. Flexibility is a way to be free. This is reality in Europe, and I love it. It keeps developers busy, and gives customers to require their own things, and keeps the market sharp and innovative.
