Hi,

As some already know, we have been experimenting with Google Wave as a mechanism for early collaborative development on archetype concepts.

We have started a Wave on Wound care at:

[https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BsliTddCQD](https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com%21w%252BsliTddCQD)

and have already amassed quite a lot of good source material but we need input, particularly from nursing colleagues.

The intention is to get the ideas firm enough to turn into archetypes that will be uploaded to CKM for formal review. This not a formal openEHR activity but more of an experiment to see if Wave’s conversational and collaborative approach might be useful for clinical modelling.

If anyone would like to participate but does not have a Google Wave account, please contact

[arin.basu@gmail.com](mailto:arin.basu@gmail.com) directly by email.

Arin has a few Wave invitations left and we have a number of other members of the openEHR community able to help with invites if /when Arin’s run out.
