Hi Derek,

it is very simple. Not being an official standard has been a real 
problem for government agencies, obsessed with official standards.

Articles on Healthcare, Complexity, Change, Process, IT and the role of openEHR etc

2010-10-22 Thread Shannon Tony (Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust)
Late last year I said I would work on some material to help explain openEHR in 
the wider context of healthcare change during 2010.

It has taken me longer that I originally planned but I've recently shared some 
articles online towards that end.
http://frectal.com/book/

The articles explore issues such as
Healthcare under pressure,
Complexity of healthcare+management+IT,
Change and the elements within
Aligning process improvement efforts with IT

In the final articles I explore healthcare change going forward, the need for 
better IT and particularly why I believe openEHR has the potential to tackle 
the complexity and  diversity of healthcare..

http://frectal.com/book/healthcare-change-the-way-forward/healthcare-openehr%e2%80%99s-potential-to-handle-complexity-diversity/

In the spirit of evolutionary change, they are up in draft form for now, so 
comments on any article are welcome..

Hope you find it of some interest/value in explaining openEHR's place in the 
wider world.
Please feel free to share..

Kind regards

All I can say Derek; is that if you think my past medical, mental and
social history older than six months is useless information. Much less
my familial history of a few generations.  

I am very happy that you are not my physician.

Maybe if you had all of that information in a meaningful semantically
connected network.  You could practice better preventive healthcare as
opposed to band-aid, reactive medicine???   :-) 



Cheers,
Tim

Tony,

This is very impressive piece of work.? Every since I first came across
openEHR I have intuitively felt that it is closer to the 'solution' than
more static attempts at standardization. So why is progress so slow? I've
appplied some lateral thinking to this, and come up with what many people
on this list may (at best) think contrarian - but at the risk of being
flamed

The Case for NPfIT 2.0 www.nationalhealthexecutive.com page 52-53.

(I'll go get my hard hat now...)

Best wishes,

Derek.
