What is the OpenHIE Academy and what will I learn?
OpenHIE Academy courses include "up and running" and "advanced" courses. "Up and Running" courses have no prerequisites and are for all audiences, these courses will take place on November 4th. They provide you with the essential history, concepts, and competencies to understand the role of OpenHIE as a health information exchange and how to utilize the architecture to enhance data for decision making at all levels of the health system.
On November 8th OpenHIE will host a merger of two exciting types of meetings, what we call a Hackonnect-a-thon. This is a technical space for software teams and architects to engage and get their “hands-in” or “on” OpenHIE itself and see it materialised. Combining the principles of a connectathon and a hackathon we are excited to provide a space for teams to connect their existing tools to OpenHIE workflows and use-cases as well as give the community an opportunity to propose low hanging fruit use cases for the groups to work on. Recognising that many attendees may be new to OpenHIE there is no better way than actively engaging in designing, developing, configuring, implementing and connecting to an OpenHIE architecture to learn the fundamentals and build the relationships that you will need going forward.
Objectives
The attendees of the hackonnect-a-thon are aiming to:
Connect existing tools to OpenHIE foundational registries
Learn how to implement workflows within their tools
Jointly work together to implement common use-cases within an OpenHIE architecture
Self-organise into learning sessions and create breakaway groups to discuss topics / show ideas
Great so what does this really mean/look like?
Well we are looking forward to the attendees (that is you, the participant) bringing their technical strengths to the table and bringing their systems to engage with others in the field. These sessions are focused at providing the space for the architects, the analysts, the developers and the integrators within the communities to meet and discuss how to solve active problems as well as start on the fundamentals of connecting systems. We are expecting a combination of the following to emerge:
- item1
- item2
What to expect during and after sessions
During pre-planned course you can expect;
- space for Q&A
- a short 10 point quiz to check participant’s comprehension
