Medinfo 2010 interim report

Dear colleagus,

As I notified to the related authours, our proposal for "The openEHR
developers' workshop' has been accepted but scientific demo "Archeytpe
connectathon" has NOT been accepted.
The workshop will be accomodated in 90 minutes. We should have
presentations including connectathon within 90 minutes.

Best regards,
Shinji

Following on from Shinji’s news, I also received notification today of acceptance of another Medinfo proposal , but not as a full day clinical modelling workshop as we wanted, only a 1.5hour tutorial. The proposal link is here - http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/resources/MedInfo+2010±+South+Africa: Clinician-driven EHRs - the openEHR approach.

We’ll have to rethink our plan!

Cheers

Heather

Good news - I have just had confirmation that our clinical modelling workshop proposal has been allocated a full day, after all - likely Saturday September 11.

Regards

Heather

Hi!

I forgot to mention on the lists (I just updated the wiki) that our
openEHR-related poster submission to Medinfo 2010 got "upgraded" to a
short 15+5-minute scientific demonstration by the reviewers.

REST Based Services and Storage Interfaces for openEHR Implementations
(E Sundvall, M Nyström, M Eneling, D Karlsson, H Åhlfeldt)

Abstract and Objective:

A lack of open, modular service implementations for openEHR makes it
harder for newcomers to learn and experiment with openEHR. We are
trying to address this in an educational EHR environment (LiU EEE).
Some of our approaches, presented in the poster, are likely of value
for other openEHR implementations and may also contribute to the
upcoming openEHR service model specifications.

The main contribution of this work is the formalization of the openEHR
storage, retrieval and version-handling semantics into a
Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style framework
that can be used as a service interface. The modular design using Java
Restlets makes it easy to e.g. test, distribute, cache and
load-balance the system using ordinary web server technology. Another
contribution is a generic database interface and example
implementations for different types of database backends.
