openEHR 'Explainathon'

Community Confs & Events
1

Have you ever been momentarily stumped when asked to explain exactly what openEHR is? What it does? Why it matters? Conversations about the importance of open standards in healthcare are crucial, and getting the message across - in a way that can be easily understood by everyone, not just techies - can be pretty challenging. :thinking:

@Lars_Fuhrmann - a member of this year’s fellowship cohort - has had the brilliant idea of inviting members of the community to share their own version of ‘openEHR 101’ at EHRCON25 in Barcelona. Think of it as a ‘show-and-tell-meets-pitch-slam’, with participants given the chance to explain openEHR in just 5 minutes, keeping in mind the following: :eyes:

  • Maximum 1 slide per ‘pitch’ (slides are not obligatory, and a flip chart will be provided) :memo:
  • Props are encouraged - the more innovative, the better! :light_bulb:
  • Use whatever analogy works for you :sun_behind_cloud: :unlocked: :open_book:
  • Your presentation cannot exceed 5 minutes :hourglass_done:
  • Bonus points for avoiding the words: archetype, clinical modelling, semantic harmonisation, datatypes, mapping, terminology bindings
 :astonished_face:
  • The lucky winner will take home a coveted prize :trophy:

If you’re interested in taking part, email events@openehr.org or send me a DM on this platform before Friday 19 September. :e_mail:

Wow. It is still ok to use the terms “blood pressure” and “Lego”! :slight_smile:

I love this idea - an extended variation on the classic elevator pitch - what you can say during the ride between floors in a lift!! Look forward to watching the recordings! Thank you.
