Using NHS Social the new collaboration tool from www.tactix4.com. Details will be sent to those who register for remote participation. SMART Platform http://www.smartplatforms.org is a US Government funded open source initiative, spearheaded by Harvard Medical School, that provides a means by which EHR systems can be extended and accessed by third-party applications. SMART defines a set of technical and API standards that are independent of the underlying systems. ?SMART containers? have already been produced for a number of EHR and PHR, and an ecosystem of SMART apps that can access such EHRs is already beginning to develop in the US. OpenEHR www.openehr.org is a project of the not-for-profit OpenEHR foundation and is about creating specifications, open source software and tools for a health care interoperability platform. In the clinical space, it is about creating high-quality, re-usable clinical models of content and process ? known as archetypes ? along with formal interfaces to terminology. Systems based on OpenEHR which, draws heavily on the European standard CEN13606, have been implemented in a number of countries and OpenEHR?s standard for clinical models ADL has be adopted by CIMI http://www.openehr.org/326-OE.html?branch=1&language=1bringing together work in the HL7 and OpenEHR communities. Also look at openEHR Clinical Knowledge Manager at www.openehr.org/knowledge Those behind SMART and OpenEHR have had some previous discussions on possible opportunities for collaboration which HANDI is keen to accelerate. This meeting will include expert presentation of the two technologies and an opportunity to explore their further use in the UK and/or possible collaboration at a global level. ===================== Sorry for cross-posting but I think this is of potential interest to both technical and clinical audiences.
