Welcome to Ocean Informatics Wiki

Ocean Informatics offers a health computing platform based on the non-proprietary openEHR specifications. The platform consists of a range of openEHR ready components utilising Microsoft's .NET environment which greatly simplify the development of openEHR-based clinical applications and make it possible to take advantage of the openEHR community's archetype specifications and many tools that support consolidation of existing data. Ocean's products fully support the 1.0.1 release of the openEHR architecture and provide a foundation for application development to take advantage of this comprehensive framework. See Ocean Informatics products information as PDF.

Ocean Informatics offers three types of products for deploying Electronic Health Records (EHRs), EHR applications and clinical terminology:

1. The Ocean EHR Components consists of EHR runtime services and client side components that enable any application to have distributed access to the EHR, demographics, terminology and related services.
2. The Ocean Clinical Knowledge Services provide design-time and runtime access to archetypes and templates via the Clinical Knowledge Manager as well as terminologies such as SNOMED-CT, ICDx and local terminologies via the Ocean Terminology Service.
3. The Ocean Clinical Modelling Tools enable clinician experts to create and test openEHR archetypes, templates, terminology subsets and GUI forms.

All products are based on the release 1.0.1 of the openEHR specifications (http://www.openEHR.org), are CEN EN13606-compliant, and provide a robust service-oriented architecture for deploying standardised EHRs in large and small environments.

Ocean Informatics does not produce full clinical applications: we work with application vendors of clinical, workflow and decision support applications to enable shared electronic health records using open standards. Ocean supports the openEHR Foundation.
