The openEHR Clinical Modelling Program commenced life as the Archetype Editorial Group and ‘operated’ between 2007 and 2012-ish. The original announcement in 2007 described it as the lead group for archetype authoring. Comprising a group of doctors influential in health IT and friendly to the openEHR approach selected by Sam Heard (Ocean, AU) in the first instance, the announcement also states the intent to develop a nursing group would be convened soon after.
