Interesting comment Thomas,
I think " official standards " have nothing to do with obsession, but with
governments that have a legal obligation to ascertain some equality on markets,
regulations, and ensuring free access and opportunities for all. Maybe I miss a
few here, but I am convinced that at least in democratic societies, it is what
we as citizens want.
E.g. EHR laws do require official and public accessible standards from official
SDO's with formal balloting and procedures in place in which all parties
concerned can participate.
In particular the obsession might be on market dominance.
I am currently working on an ISO standard. One of the member countries was
commenting that choosing one particular approach in this standard might favor
that approach, hence blocking free trade.

Hi Derek,
it is very simple. Not being an official standard has been a real
problem for government agencies, obsessed with official standards.

Tony,
This is very impressive piece of work. Every since I first came
across openEHR I have intuitively felt that it is closer to the
'solution' than more static attempts at standardization. So why is
progress so slow? I've appplied some lateral thinking to this, and come
up with what many people on this list may (at best) think contrarian -
but at the risk of being flamed....

Late last year I said I would work on some material to help explain
openEHR in the wider context of healthcare change during 2010.
It has taken me longer that I originally planned but I've
recently shared some articles online towards that end.
http://frectal.com/book/
The articles explore issues such as
Healthcare under pressure,
Complexity of healthcare+management+IT,
Change and the elements within
Aligning process improvement efforts with IT
In the final articles I explore healthcare change going
forward, the need for better IT and particularly why I believe
openEHR has the potential to tackle the complexity and diversity of
healthcare..

In the spirit of evolutionary change, they are up in draft
form for now, so comments on any article are welcome..
Hope you find it of some interest/value in explaining
openEHR's place in the wider world.
Please feel free to share..
Kind regards
Tony
