Thank you for the great report Heather. It is such a big undertaking and you
have made a wonderful start.
Cheers, Sam

Subject: Christmas greetings from the CKM team
Hi everyone,
What a year it has been, and great to be able to reflect back on achievements
and the gathering momentum.
Silje Ljosland Bakke and myself, as clinical program leads would like to thank
everyone for their contributions and efforts over the year.
Some stats to provide some insight into the ‘state of the CKM’ and activity
over the year:
* Archetypes
* 443 archetypes available, distributed over 35 projects; and a further
102 ungoverned ones evolving in incubators
* In projects: 322 are draft; 26 currently undergoing review; 79 are
published for content
* In the past 12 months, 16 archetypes were published; 203 archetypes
were modified; 66 were created and added to CKM as new models
* Archetypes for ECG report and alcohol consumption are just on the
brink of publication – we can expect them to be published very early in the new
year.
* Templates
* 85 templates have been submitted, mostly as examples of modelling for
specific scenarios; 77% are in ungoverned incubators
* None have been reviewed to final publication status
* Translations
* Over the years there have been many archetypes that have been
translated – we currently have representations in 24 languages, the top five
(obviously excluding English as the default language of CKM) being:
* Portuguese (Brazil) - 119 archetypes translated;
* Norwegian Bokmal with 110;
* Arabic (Syria) with 78
* Spanish (Argentina) 51
* Spanish (Spain) 42
Again, a huge amount of work by a very small number of volunteers and largely
invisible and beneath the surface.
* CKM users
* As of today, 2106 registered users from 93 countries
* Top five countries, by number of registered users: Brasil; UK; USA;
Australia; Sweden
* 278 new registrants signed up this year, purely by word of mouth.
Imagine if we did some marketing!
* Reviews:
* 749 registrants have volunteered to participate in reviews
* This years:
* 80 unique reviewers participated this year, 75 completing at least
1 content review and 5 reviewers participate only in translation reviews
* 23 archetypes completed at least one review round this
* 414 archetype reviews were submitted - 375 content reviews in 39
review rounds; 34 Swedish translation reviews in 7 review rounds
* We have 35 projects; 18 public incubators; 15 private incubators
* 44 archetypes are available on a ‘view only’ basis as they are ‘owned’ by
other collaborating CKMs – 29 referenced from the UK Apperta CKM; and 5 from
the Norway CKM
>From an operations point of view it has been really pleasing to see activity
>increasing and new users actively engaging in reviews.
Silje and I particularly wish to thank all those who participated as Editors –
the ongoing effort week by week, herding cats behind the scenes and teasing out
the patterns that make each archetype implementable is easy to underestimate
and should not be! And to Sebastian for crafting the CKM itself that powers
this great collaborative effort.
We thank you all for your participation and encourage those who are not yet
active to indicate your willingness by adopting archetypes that you’d like to
participate in for review purposes. We value any and all input. There is no
‘stupid’ answers as everyone views the content from their own professional
perspective and unique domain knowledge.
By volunteering your comments we have collectively created an extraordinary
international resource, with no equal – there is no body of work in the public
domain that is so broad and deep, and so transparent and freely available. And
all crowd sourced from volunteer participants. Please pat yourselves on the
back for an extraordinary effort as a community!!
The year has not been without it’s dramas and disagreements, but I am
continuously amazed at the respect and collegiality by which people collaborate
in meetings, on openEHR clinical Slack channels and of course, in the archetype
reviews. Unfortunately the Slack channels are only available by invite only, so
if you would like to be included please email me directly -

- and I’ll add you in:
Some big topics have been ‘nailed’ this year – in particular the Medications
family of archetype, which has constituted a massive amount of work by editors
and reviewers. Others that have finally been published include the tricksy
archetypes for: Contraindication; Pulse oximetry; Problem/Diagnosis qualifier.
Others like Hip circumference and Waist circumference were easier, low hanging
fruit.
Also, undergoing what we hope might be their final review round, is the
Laboratory test OBSERVATION and related CLUSTERs for haematology, biochem,
serology etc – as you can imagine, achieving consensus has required a huge
amount of work and checking with implementers around the world. Seriously
ground breaking work, here. Micro and histopathology will need a little more
work once these first core lab archetypes are published, and the Imaging family
of archetypes will be reimagined by aligning them with the lab patterns and
adjusting for their specific purpose.
There are a few that are providing headaches for Editors – particularly
designing the patterns for fractal Physical examination findings; Social
history, including housing, accommodation, living arrangements, occupation etc;
and Communication capability, including language and translation requirements
have been surprisingly elusive, but we are well advanced in all of these areas
and we expect these patterns to be worked on in the new year again.
As well as the celebrations, we are also grieving for one of our colleagues,
Hildegard McNicoll. Hildi passed away only weeks ago and we already miss her
significant and enthusiastic contributions, and especially her friendship and
wisdom. As Editors we are still working on facilitating on review rounds in
which Hildi has made comments which we are still incorporating into archetypes
as they evolve. Her presence is still actively being felt! Vale Hildi, and
thank you! Our sincerest condolences to Ian and family.
Finally, as the year draws to a close, we wish you all a great celebration with
family and friends, and especially a restful holiday break – we need you to be
in good shape for all the work we anticipate for 2019.
Best regards
Heather
