Hi OHHers - I’m running a 2-day hack next year, alongside the Digital Health Rewired event. If it’s anything like the Digital Health Summer School hackathon we ran earlier in 2018 it’ll be a great 2 days of collaboration, learning, and building tech.
Part of the event will be a ‘traditional’ hackathon event, starting with idea pitches and then hacking on ideas, building ‘proof of concept’ prototypes, and experimenting with new technologies and concepts.
Around this I will have a number of demonstration slots going on, something like a workshop or tutorial on particular healthcare technologies - with small groups (4-6) and hands-on learning (ie writing code on your laptop, not powerpoint and theory) - I’ve decided to call them ‘Hackshops’ - where you can learn a new skill such as integrating with a FHIR server, or building an NHS user interface…
Here’s a list of some of the hackshop contributions we’re expecting at the 2019 hackathon.
The Ripple Foundation - with their JavaScript-based Ripple showcase stack for building interoperable and standards-based EHRs and PHRs, already in use for the Helm PHR.
The NHS Spine team - with an open-access Spine test environment for learning to integrate with the basic NHS Spine services
We’re hoping to add more demos and hackshops here, and if you would like to run a hackshop then please PM me @pacharanero and we can arrange it.
[ We can’t guarantee you would be able to get around all the available hackshops - there might be limits on how many people can attend any given hackshop. It’ll be first come first served on the day, and a ‘teach-each-other’ ethos. Share the knowledge! ]
Date: March 25th-26th 2019
Venues: Novotel London West (moving across to the main venue at Olympia for the hackday presentations)
(Not an official response but expect it to be present at the hackathon)
The CareConnect API - a proposed standard API for accessing clinical data in systems across the NHS (less GP - see GP Connect earlier)
This is available in dockerised form which provides a EPR and document database, all accessible via the REST API. So if you want to just concentrate on user interface and use a standard method for accessing data (from a 3rd party EPR or an off the shelf FHIR server), the updated instructions are here: CCRI | Installation instructions | Care Connect
Some of the hacks done at the last INTEROPen (using CareConnect + GP Connect) are described here: Care Connect FHIR – Medium
Can’t make that call but we did hackshops at the NHS Connectathon a year ago. We had an area dedicated to CareConnect where people could come and ask question and also put on a couple of presentations - it was very popular.
Hi there, I’m a developer and have just registered for the Rewired Hack Day event. I worked on the Spine 2 project up until just after it went live but since then I’ve been out of the health IT space working in other areas. Am I right in thinking that I can rock up to the Hack Day and join in with a team without bringing along a pitch?
