Dear Colleagues,

As we have now begun 2010 it might be useful to take a bit of stock of where we are, where we want to be\.\.

I commented in my last email of 2009 of where I felt progress had been made\.\.
http://www.openehr.org/mailarchives/openehr-clinical/msg01679.html
When looking forward this year, there appears a natural focal point of Medinfo in September 2010 in Cape Town\.
It appears to be a good place to be exploring openEHR progress together\.

With that in mind, last year Tim Cook and Shinji Kobayashi kicked off the idea of a "Connectathon" during Medinfo\.
We did some simple work on a example patient journey, as a means of agreeing something we want to be able to support\.
It's a story of a patient who needs to attend the ED, the GP and some specialty services over his many years as a diabetic\.\.\.
http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/resources/Connect-a-thon+Details
Its not the perfect journey, but I hope it at least serves as a means of debate and discussion\.

So rather than outline my own view of what the openEHR clinical & technical community might need to do to make the Medinfo Connectathon happen, I'd rather a bit of healthy debate please\.\.\.
To provoke that debate I'd like to share a variety of questions \(with a mix of clinical and technical angles\)  that you might like to pick up and and share your thoughts/views on\.\.
