Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM)
The Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM) is the collaborative environment which NEHTA is trialing to engage the Australian healthcare community – clinicians, jurisdictions, vendors, professional bodies and informed key stakeholders in the development of computable clinical concept definitions to be used in the development of e-Health clinical technical solutions, known as archetypes.
The archetypes on CKM are a list of data groups and elements that have been drawn from stakeholder requirement statements and based on clinical/domain expert views of best practice. The proposed archetypes will be subjected to privacy and legal assessment by NEHTA.
The NEHTA archetypes, known as Detailed Clinical Models. (DCMs), are intended to provide the content building blocks (information and terminology) for technical specifications for e-health solutions.

Work on the NEHTA archetypes will continue throughout the six month trial period ending 30 May 2011. After which the CKM pilot will be evaluated. NEHTA will use the archetypes developed during this trial in technical specifications for e-Health Lead Site Implementation as part of the PCeHR work program - such as e-Discharge Summary, E-Referral, e-Specialist Letter and e-Health Summary.
