I know it will be difficult to reach consensus, but it's not impossible.
Firstly, I think we (trainers) need to sit down and talk about what we think
and what we want to do in/with our courses, until now I have not seen any
discusions about how to standarize openEHR training and I've been in the
openEHR community since 2006, and maybe this initiative could have a good
outcome and be beneficial to the community.
Now we see many demands of the e-health community, from openEHR software tools,
to openEHR training (there is place for everyone!), and I think we need to make
a smart move as a community, because these are spreading & adoption
opportunities for openEHR as a standard.
In my case, I think a openEHR course should include the core element: the dual
model (IM+AM), at an "above basic" level, something to help students understand
the concepts and let them continue investigating after the course ending. To do
so, we need to include basic tooling use (I've included the use of the AR,
ADLWB and our EHRGen). Maybe that is enough for a clinical modeler profile, but
for a developer is not, they need to understand what to implement in software
and in wich way. For that I've created a class on "how to implement openEHR in
an information system", and I included two approaches: the binding approach
(used by Opereffa project) and the autogeneration approach (used by the EHRGen
framework). An introductory level course could leave out the tooling chapter.

For this community this is very difficult to evaluate, e.g. right now I think
I'm the only guy doing an spanish openEHR course, and maybe I'm terrible as a
trainer, but there's nobody else to compare with. Obviously, I could show the
student's evaluation of my performance on the course, but I'm more concerned
about giving a better course (and maybe an openEHR certification) to my
students than comparing me with other trainers, since I want to collaborate
with them to agree on some topics and ways of evaluation. I know that maybe
this is not the way of SDOs, but I believe this should be the openEHR way.
I really want to get consensus and work on this subject in 2012 with anyone who
want's to collabotare to improve openEHR training.
Does anyone think that a openehr-trainers mail list would be helpful to focus
the discussion on those subjects?
Kind regards,Pablo.
