Making Clinical Data Consistent Everywhere

Your trusted platform for managing clinical data models that power interoperable health systems.

Healthcare innovation breaks down when clinical meaning is lost between systems, studies, and standards.

The Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM) from Ocean Health Systems gives healthcare teams a proven way to collaboratively create, govern, and publish high-quality clinical data models, enabling research to progress faster, systems to integrate cleanly, and data to remain meaningful over time. CKM is designed to support openEHR clinical modeling, ensuring that clinical meaning stays computable, reusable, and future-proof. CKM is empowered by the openEHR specifications and technologies, leveraging a powerful asset management system at its core.

Create once.
Govern with confidence.
Reuse globally.

Built for the People Who Make Clinical Data Meaningful

One collaborative platform that supports every role shaping clinical data

Clinical innovation depends on many specialists working in sync. CKM is designed around how healthcare teams collaborate.

Clinical content managers ensuring quality, structure and consistency
Clinicians and reviewers validating real-world clinical accuracy and comprehensiveness
Terminologists and translators safeguarding semantic accuracy across clinical terminologies and languages
Policy leaders and governing bodies approving national and regional standards
Vendors and developers implementing interoperable systems

Everyone works from the same governed source of truth, with full transparency and accountability. 

Transform Fragmentation into Reusable Clinical Data

Eliminate rework, ambiguity and the semantic gap.

Without strong governance, clinical data models are repeatedly recreated, locally adapted and inconsistently implemented. This leads to slow research, expensive integration and data that cannot be reliably compared.

CKM transforms this process by enabling:

Clinician‑led modelling that reflects real clinical practice.

Structured review and approval workflows that build consensus.

Semantic versioning so change never undermines trust. 

Clear publication states that make reuse safe and predictable. 

Collaborate Globally While Staying in Control Locally

Reuse proven models without sacrificing national or organisational needs.

CKM allows organisations to draw from an internationally curated library of high‑quality clinical content models, while still meeting local policies, regulations and reporting requirements. 

✅  Reuse internationally agreed models instead of starting from scratch 

✅  Extend models safely without breaking downstream compatibility 

✅  Federate national and regional CKMs into the global ecosystem 

✅  Protect long‑term investments in clinical knowledge 

Research initiatives gain immediate momentum, while governing bodies retain oversight and authority. 

Clinically Governed from First Draft to Live Use

End‑to‑end control of the clinical knowledge lifecycle

CKM supports every stage of clinical content development: 

✅ Authoring and editing by clinicians and content specialists 

✅ Formal peer review of the clinical content with traceable feedback and decisions 

✅ Semantic version control with full revision history 

✅ Clear approval and publication workflows 

✅ Audit trails and reporting for compliance and assurance 

Every model is transparent, trusted, and built for real-world use.

Speak Every Clinical Language

Terminology binding and multilingual support built in.

CKM embeds terminology and translation functionality to enrich and localise clinical data models.

CKM can manage mappings to other standards, such as FHIR® and OMOP.

Clinical meaning stays intact across borders, systems and studies.

Bind data elements to SNOMED CT , LOINC and other standards
Review terminology bindings
Translate models accurately within full clinical context
Review translations side by side
Manage mappings of openEHR Clinical Data Models to FHIR®
Manage mappings of openEHR Clinical Data Models to OMOP for Clinical Research
