Open Health Tools (OHT) Discovery Day

OHT is pleased to announce a "Discovery Day," to take place on May 18th in Vancouver, BC, Canada.  This one-day event is an interactive workshop during which we will explore and elaborate the OHT Platforms and their architecture.  While there is an introduction/background session, the bulk of the day is more interactive in nature.  The goal is to better understand what is needed to effectively elaborate OHT platforms, and to determine a go-forward game-plan for developing each of the platform architectures.

Note that there is no cost to participate in the day, courtesy of the meeting space that has been kindly donated by HL7.  No catering or meals will be provided.  If you plan to attend, please RSVP as indicated in the attached.

Agenda

9:00am Welcome, Introductions, OHT Technical Background Level-Set (Alesha Adamson)

10:00a Workshop 1: Runtime Platform (Craig Miller): The goal of the workshop is to refine and document our shared understanding of the role of the Runtime Platform, to identify relevant standards and other inclusion criteria affecting components of the platform, and to identify potential contributions and/or reference implementation candidates. As originally conceived, the Runtime is intended to be the support services necessary to facilitate the creation, exchange, and analysis of health data.

12:00pm Workshop 2: Distribution Platform (Ken Rubin): The goal of the workshop is to refine and document our shared understanding of the role of the Distribution Platform, to identify relevant standards and other inclusion criteria affecting components of the platform, and to identify potential contributions and/or reference implementation candidates. As originally conceived, the Distribution Platform is intended to allow for the dissemination, release management and dependency management of software and other information assets.

12:30pm Lunch

1:30pm Workshop 2 (continued)

2:30pm Work session: Determining Next Steps (Miller, Rubin) The object of this work session is to determine the best approach forward to elaborate each of the OHT Platforms, informed by the lessons-learned from the activities earlier in the day. Included within this session would be defining quality criteria/definition of success for the OHT architecture.

3:45pm Feedback / Evaluation Process (Community)
