There is a project list here:
http://www.openehr.org/projects/t_projects.htm

Lots of interesting projects, but very few of them provide any details
of what they are actually doing or what progress they have made -
typical of academic projects (which alas are not run the same way as
open source projects). Of course, openness is not expected of commercial
projects - but these days there may be little difference between
academic and commercial modes of R&D since most universities want to
cash in on the R&D they do - but some universities have a more mature
attitude to commercialistion than others.

The Swedish open source openEHR kernel (engine) is here:
http://svn.openehr.org/ref_kernel_java/TRUNK/project_page.htm

But scroll down and have a look the list of baisc things they haven't
managed to demonstrate yet. Reminds me of GNUmed not so very long ago...
