Dear colleagues,
There is no doubt that one of the strengths of openEHR is the activity and connectedness within the openEHR community. I’m also intrigued by the social networking tools that have arisen in recent years.
So, slightly orthogonal to the usual list content and at the risk of preaching to those who are far more advanced than I, thought I might share some tools and sites that I’ve been exploring - with the intent to connect openEHR community members in other ways and to disseminate information about openEHR more broadly:
-
openEHR group on LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/groupsDirectory?results=&sik=1246436476974&pplSearchOrigin=GLHD&keywords=openEHR
-
‘Friends of openEHR’ on Facebook
-
Twitter - using Twitter Search - http://search.twitter.com/ - or one of the many Twitter-related applications:
-
Search for a single word or phrase eg ‘openEHR’ to find any twitter with ‘openEHR’ in the text - [BEWARE: I’ve been tweeting a bit in the past couple of days about CKM ;-)]
-
Search for ongoing tagged conversations by prefixing a keyword with a #. Some of the ones I have been looking at recently include:
-
#EHR OR #EMR OR #PHR
-
#HealthIT OR #HealthcareIT
-
#HealthVault OR ‘Google Health’- Search for significant HealthIT-related twittering individuals, such as:
-
@jhalamka
-
@davidblumenthal - although he’s not saying much!
-
If you have other ideas, I’d love to know.
I’m not sure where this leads us (if anywhere) but disruptive technologies start in small ways, so at least worth exploring…
Regards
Heather
