Thanks for the clarification, Jan. We tried to get a workshop and it hasn't worked out.
However if we can still have an opportunity to present as a tutorial then I think there are a lot of people who would be interested to have access to an introduction to the openEHR methodology. That has certainly been our experience in the past when the openEHR tutorial was the only one that had numbers to run, and all others were cancelled, way back at MIE at Goteburg. There are people who are active in the community now who attended that conference and with whom we had first contact with openEHR who have now gone on to become further involved... So, yes, free would be ideal, but paid tutorials are still an opportunity from my point of view. And I will also point out that it is extremely safe to assume that the presenters will not be paid, even if the attendees have to :( Cheers Heather -----Original Message----- From: openEHR-clinical [mailto:openehr-clinical-boun...@lists.openehr.org] On Behalf Of Talmon (CRISP) Sent: Thursday, 14 March 2013 11:44 PM To: For openEHR clinical discussions Subject: Re: Medinfo 2013 - Scientific Program Committee Decision, Id: 946 Heather just a small catch: Workshops are free to attend (provided you registered for the conference;-).

All submitted papers were reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers and members of the Scientific Program Committee (SPC). All submitted posters, workshops, panels, and scientific demonstrations were reviewed by members of the SPC. Given the constraints of the limited meeting length and space, and the high quality of the submissions, the SPC was forced to make some difficult decisions this year. > > Unfortunately, your submission was not accepted for the conference program.

The authors do not clearly describe audience engagement strategies.THe strengths come from a panel of experimented implementers of openEHR archetypes and a clear educational purpose, but it lacks methodology to encourage attendees to interact with the presenters. > > > > _______________________________________________ > openEHR-clinical mailing list > openEHR-clinical at lists.openehr.org > http://lists.openehr.org/mailman/listinfo/openehr-clinical_lists.openehr.org _______________________________________________ openEHR-clinical mailing list openEHR-clinical at lists.openehr.org http://lists.openehr.org/mailman/listinfo/openehr-clinical_lists.openehr.org
