Ocean Health Systems will showcase its work on clinical knowledge governance, interoperability and AI-enabled workflows at the EHRCON26 conference in Amsterdam next week.
The Australian headquartered digital health company will join clinicians, researchers, health system leaders, vendors and openEHR experts at the conference on September 22 and 23, which will focus on open health data standards, interoperability and agentic AI.
Ocean Health Systems CEO Lukas Eksteen said the openEHR market was moving beyond questions about whether the standard could work towards how it could be implemented at scale.
“The market is no longer asking whether openEHR can work. The question is how health systems establish the governance, capability and partnerships required to make it work at scale,” Mr Eksteen said.
“Ocean’s role is to help organisations move from openEHR ambition to sustainable operational capability.”
The company will highlight its Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM), which supports the collaborative development, review, publication and reuse of clinical archetypes, templates, termsets and release sets.
The platform is designed to allow clinical knowledge to be governed independently of individual software applications and maintained as a reusable health system asset.
Ocean Health Systems technical lead Dr Seref Arikan said the platform’s stakeholder base was expanding beyond clinicians to include system implementers, scientists and other standards communities.
“We are excited about the emerging, even greater potential of CKM, especially in the context of Europe and its EHDS framework,” Dr Arikan said.
The company will also discuss work by Ocean Health Systems co-founder and openEHR architect Dr Sam Heard on “co-modelling”, including the use of smaller and reusable clinical models in digital health applications and AI-enabled workflows.
“Agentic AI will increase the value of precise, computable clinical data, but AI cannot compensate for poorly structured or weakly governed data,” Dr Heard said.
“Co-modelling can give systems smaller, re-usable, shared units of meaning that remain clinically safe, explainable and interoperable.”
Ocean Health Systems will have three representatives presenting at EHRCON26.
Dr Arikan will present on scaling the European Health Data Space using an openEHR/FHIR co-modelling platform and AI strategy, while Sebastian Garde will discuss clinical knowledge management and mapping between healthcare standards.
Chunlan Ma will present on the use of clinical data for infection surveillance.
EHRCON26 will be held at the Meervaart Theatre in Amsterdam on September 22 and 23.
