1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

The Parliamentary Science, Innovation and Technology Committee was super interesting this week - not only did it have a section on NHS England's #Palantir Federated Data Platform with Louis Mosley: parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

New on the Digital Shift podcast: @e17chrisfleming.bsky.social chats with PD's Audree Fletcher (ex-NHS Test & Trace) on leading through uncertainty and keeping #digitaltransformation on track. Partnering with @nhsproviders.bsky.social, @nhsconfed.org & NHS's Digital Academy. #nhs #testandlearn

Thanks to @ianmcnicoll.bsky.social of FreshEHR Clinical Informatics, a stalwart of the international @openehr.bsky.social community for coming on my YouTube channel - "here's openEHR Part 3"! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpr8...

Thanks Marcus. It was fun.

I don’t say this lightly: I think the latest from @xkcd.com might be the best YouTube video I’ve ever seen. (3m37s)

Healthcare IT is lagging behind other sectors - but it doesn’t have to. openEHR creates a common language for health data, solving interoperability challenges and empowering clinicians, researchers and patients. openehr.org/what-is-open... #HealthcareIT #openEHR #Interoperability

It’s back! EHRCON25 – the second openEHR International Conference – is set to be an incredible event in the global #DigitalHealthcare calendar. Join us in the beautiful city of Barcelona for two days of insightful discussion, networking and workshops. openehr.org/ehrcon25 #EHRCON25

In the world of #openEHR there are limited ways in which models (archetypes) can be shared amongst interest parties. There are tools for creating models (free), reviewing models (paid) but nothing to just be view the models.

My #openEHR archetype viewer is finally starting to come together. Still lots to do, but the end is in sight :-) devt.modelviewer.info

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west). My column: www.ft.com/content/3046...

Healthcare fights that challenge using data standards. HL7 #FHIR does a great job, and so does #openEHR for an even more extensive approach. I cannot say we're winning yet, but we're definitely on the right path, and it only took us three decades or so!

I'm sometimes getting snarky comments, but I really like working with Vaadin. I finally managed to make a demo for a research team that is interested in using openEHR for an app. The demo shows how to combine our openEHR SDK with Vaadin to quickly and flexibly build clinical forms, only using Java.

@stephenmnewport.bsky.social we have an NHS Hack Day coming up at Cardiff Uni nhshackday.com on March 1/2 - it's a bit different to other hackathons. Do you think you could share with your networks? Here's a great post about what makes it special medium.com/@lauren.m.be...

Headed into LDN for many meetings about NHS information infrastructure. Since I use the “you can’t run HS2 on broken railway tracks” as an analogy for AI in the NHS all the time, it’s probably payback that all the trains are delayed or cancelled due to a “broken rail” …

Yes. That was a great contribution to lead the way. I think 2025 will bring lot's of interesting achievements in the interoperability domain. Now that #openehr data has passed the critical mass (long time ago....)
