The document discusses the complexity of healthcare data and the challenges of capturing requirements from clinicians. It introduces openEHR as an open specification for a health information model that supports an open platform ecosystem in a vendor and technology neutral manner. The specification includes an open information model, REST API, and query language to allow multiple applications to access the shared openEHR clinical record in an open platform architecture. The workshop aims to provide perspectives on openEHR from international, national, and implementation views.
