openEHR Transition Announcement (about regional/national openehr organizations)

2011-09-08 Thread Tony Shannon
Thanks Pablo

It's great to see the proposals generate these discussions, which was
our intention as these discussions were needed..

Regarding tools, I'm a keen advocate for open source tools and believe
better tools will be key to more widespread use of openEHR..
..but know I you cant get them for free, so if we want more tools we can
share...
-the community needs to agreed a prioritised set of open source tools
-we need to establish how much they will cost
-we need to find ways to channel funds from those who need the tools to
those who are willing to do the work..

regards,

Tony

I think we (local/regional organizations working with and on openEHR) need 
formal support from the openEHR fundation.

One basic form of support is to recognize the local/regional openEHR 
organizatons as such.
Other is to recognize our contributions to the community, like mentioning our 
work on presentations, publications and other public communications (I think a 
public communications strategy should be traced by openEHR foundation).

If we think of money, there are ways of money support without giving real 
money: we need software tools (archetype & template editors), we need access to 
events far away, we need books, educational resources, etc, etc.

The foundation should draw yearly general goals, to the openEHR project as a 
whole, and to the local/regional representatives. And should follow and 
coordinate the work and evaluate the results. Those goals could be technical, 
educational, communicational, among other kinds.


Here is a related thread with some other ideas: 
http://www.openehr.org/mailarchives/openehr-implementers/msg00889.html


What do you think?

I would guess that an 'official status' recognition and thus links in
online (and some offline) information resources would be a major
thing, more imoportant than funding, especially if this also allowed
the regional organisation to arrange "official" openEHR
gatherings/conferences etc. It would be reasonable if the local
organisation could keep money left over from such (possibly partly
commercially sponsored) gatherings/conferences.

Of course it would be reasonable if the foundation had some
requirements on official local organisations, like having:
- open membership
- statutes matching regional democratic traditions and the openEHR
goals (internal governance rules or whatever the swedish word
"stadgar" should be translated to)
- proper accounting and audit
- a duty to have a dialogue with the central openEHR foundation
regarding plans involving using the openEHR tradmark for events etc
- ...probably more...

For local organisations I think bottom up comunity driven governance
with elected boards etc is the only way to go, not top-down.

Thanks Erik,

These feel like very sound proposals, in particular the focus on
bottom-up local development.

Pablo, Shinji - would Erik's suggestions be the kind of support that
you would hope to have?

openEHR Transition Announcement (about regional/national openehr organizations)

2011-09-07 Thread Ian McNicoll
Thanks Pablo,

I am aware of the very excellent work being done around the world,
often with insufficient publicity and I too think that regional
support should be added to the White Paper but we should discuss
further what sort of top-down assistance might be realistic to achieve
in the short-term.

We all hope that the suggested changes lead to more resources becoming
available  but it would be difficult to assume that this will be the
case, given that membership and access to Foundation materials will
continue to be free of charge.

So, my question back, is

"What sort of support would you like to see, given that significant
central resourcing is not likely in the short term?"

I know Thomas has some ideas about ramping up the software repository
and I am very keen on the idea of a non-CKM archetype/ template
'nursery' (more elsewhere) and I could imagine that one or both might
be useful at regional level.

Would it be sufficient for the Foundation to give 'official status' to
regional affiliates e.g. openEHR Japan, or are there other practical
suggestions as to how best to support regional affiliates?

Dear All,



I am writing on behalf of the new
  Transitional Board of openEHR
  to
  share our plans to take openEHR
  to a
  new level of operations; a new structure, business model and
  governance. Our
  vision is the creation of a thriving community that works
  collaboratively to
  benefit humanity through efficient and effective electronic health
  records
  (EHRs) that support the highest quality health care for the least
  effort.  



Until now, the openEHR Foundation has functioned as an owner of
intellectual property,
governed by University College London and Ocean Informatics,
with board members
Prof David Ingram (UCL), Prof Dipak Kalra (UCL) and Dr Sam Heard
(Ocean).



With the support of the
considerable
community of Members and via engagement of a new category of
sponsoring organisational
Member known as ?Associates? - Companies, Universities and
Governments - the Transitional
Board proposes a number of changes:

  
The openEHR Foundation becomes an operational
  non-profit organisation
  with paid key staff and resources;
  
The
  Board (of governance) of
  the Foundation is extended to up to 10 people with a shift to
  election by the openEHR
  Associates;
  
Members
  who participate are
  recognised by their peers, may take on decision-making roles,
  and have the
  right to commit changes to the key development assets of the
  Foundation.

The Members will participate individually
and, through qualification by peer recognition, will control the
development within
the three Programmes that are building the key assets:



  The openEHR specifications of the logical health
  record and attendant
  services as well as the methods for describing the content
  using archetypes
  (Detailed Clinical Models) and templates; and
  The openEHR archetypes and templates to be used within
  systems and for
  message content between systems to achieve interoperability;
  and
  The openEHR software projects, to provide open source
  development of tools
  to support the uptake and use of the specifications and
  templates.

A group of Members will be needed to
bootstrap each of these programmes and determine the working
arrangements that
are suitable to the products that they are managing at the
current stage of
development.

  

The Associates will determine who governs
  the Foundation by nominating and voting on new members of the
  Board. The Board
  will appoint key Operational staff and will approve the leader of

Not so long ago we have discussed about a governance and organization model to

communities

Dear All,

  share our plans to take openEHR
  to a
  new level of operations; a new structure, business model and
  governance. Our
  vision is the creation of a thriving community that works
  collaboratively to
  benefit humanity through efficient and effective electronic health
  records
  (EHRs) that support the highest quality health care for the least

Until now, the openEHR Foundation has functioned as an owner of
intellectual property,
governed by University College London and Ocean Informatics,
with board members
Prof David Ingram (UCL), Prof Dipak Kalra (UCL) and Dr Sam Heard
(Ocean).


With the support of the
considerable
community of Members and via engagement of a new category of
sponsoring organisational
Member known as ?Associates? - Companies, Universities and
Governments - the Transitional
Board proposes a number of changes:

  
The openEHR Foundation becomes an operational
  non-profit organisation
  with paid key staff and resources;
  
The
  Board (of governance) of
  the Foundation is extended to up to 10 people with a shift to
  election by the openEHR
  Associates;
  
Members
  who participate are
  recognised by their peers, may take on decision-making roles,
  and have the
  right to commit changes to the key development assets of the
  Foundation.

The Members will participate individually
and, through qualification by peer recognition, will control the
development within
the three Programmes that are building the key assets:


  The openEHR specifications of the logical health
  record and attendant
  services as well as the methods for describing the content
  using archetypes
  (Detailed Clinical Models) and templates; and
  The openEHR archetypes and templates to be used within
  systems and for
  message content between systems to achieve interoperability;
  and
  The openEHR software projects, to provide open source
  development of tools
  to support the uptake and use of the specifications and
  templates.

A group of Members will be needed to
bootstrap each of these programmes and determine the working
arrangements that
are suitable to the products that they are managing at the
current stage of
development.

  
The Associates will determine who governs
  the Foundation by nominating and voting on new members of the
  Board. The Board
  will appoint key Operational staff and will approve the leader of
  each of the Programmes.
  The Programme Leaders will be appointed by Qualified Members
  working in that
  Programme, subject to Board approval. We believe this will create
  the right
  balance between the ?ground up? creation of openEHR
  through participation of Members and ?top down? governance.



The first step is to share with you a white
  paper providing more detail on the proposals and to ensure that
  the Members are
  reasonably satisfied that this is the right direction to head. 

Some key activities have
been proceeding in
the background and are reaching a point of maturity. It has
taken us some time
to gather more clinical champions in this endeavour and
companies that can use
and work with the tools in their early stages of development. It
has also taken
quite some time for Thomas Beale to work out how to provide a
seamless pathway
between definition of archetypes, specialisation of archetypes
to ensure development
scalability, to meet jurisdictional requirements
