Shared Context Creates Coherence

The aim of the OCW is to form the basis for unified workspace solutions that support the user and the task at hand.

A central feature of the OCW is the unam­biguous and visible shared context across all open modules.

The current context – for example a patient encounter – is retained in and shared by all modules. When you select a patient from the patient list, all active modules that contain data about the patient will switch to the new context.

The centrally co-ordinated shared context between modules is based on HL7’s CCOW – Clinical Context Object Workgroup standard.
