TSC HL7 Innovations Workshop, January 2010 Phoenix WGM

We have an exciting opportunity for any HL7 members to participate in the Innovations Workshop to be held at the 2010Jan WGM. Here is an excerpt from the Workshop overview, by Ken Lunn:

Research and Innovation Workshop

A workshop will be held to explore the development of a Research and Innovation Working Group within HL7. This will run at the Phoenix HL7 WG meeting in Q3 and Q4 on Monday January 18th 2010.

The workshop will be action-based, and intended to give a flavour of how an R&I working group might function. Invitations are therefore made to any individual or group wishing to air a new idea. There are no restrictions on ideas, other than normal rules of decency and relevance.

For an introductory video, see http://gallery.me.com/ken.lunn.

To submit an idea, you need to:

  1. Submit a two-page maximum summary of the new idea. Be as inventive as you like – pictures often paint a thousand words.
  2. Either:
    • Submit a video – maximum 8 minutes.
    • Come to the workshop prepared with a short presentation – maximum 8 minutes; this will be videoed.

Priority will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, with videos taking precedence in the workshop. All submitted ideas will be shared and reviewed outside of the workshop, irrespective of whether there is air time for them at the workshop.

Email your submission, with a link to a download of the video, to: mailto:ken.lunn@nhs.net

The workshop agenda will be:

  1. Ideas presentation - 15 minutes per idea, including Q&A
  2. Ideas evaluation - a group activity to evaluate each idea, and rank them
  3. General discussion of the workshop and how to take a WG concept forward. See draft WG Mission.

All ideas will be posted on an open collaborative web-site for HL7 members to review and consume.

To submit a video, please email the two page summary to ken.lunn@nhs.net, with the subject HL7 Research and Innovation, by Thursday 14th January, with a link to where a video can be downloaded. Alternatively you may upload it onto the “HL7 Research and Innovation Group” in Facebook. If neither of these work for you, advise and I will devise some other way of exchanging the video.
