# Digital Health REWIRED - 2-day hack event (being held alongside the Digital Health REWIRED event) **Category:** [Healthcare IT Events](https://openhealthhub.org/c/healthcare-it-events/19) **Created:** 2018-12-04 16:08 UTC **Views:** 2531 **Replies:** 11 **URL:** https://openhealthhub.org/t/digital-health-rewired-2-day-hack-event-being-held-alongside-the-digital-health-rewired-event/1907 --- ## Post #1 by @pacharanero ## Digital Health Rewired HACK DAYS ![DH_Rewired_Identity_White_RGB_v4|245x58](upload://3w4eq0MnEhMsvxc9Cb7OZKyMfDG.png) 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. * NHS.UK's Frontend team - demoing their [new front end framework](https://github.com/nhsuk/nhsuk-frontend) for making accessible, well-tested NHS websites * the openEHR Foundation - with a simple tutorial on how to interact with an openEHR repository like [EtherCIS](http://ethercis.org), through its REST API * NHS Digital's GP Connect team - demoing their API for [obtaining patient GP records](https://nhsconnect.github.io/gpconnect/) from consumer systems * The Ripple Foundation - with their JavaScript-based [Ripple showcase stack](http://docs-showcase.ripple.foundation/) 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](https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Hotel+Novotel+London+West/@51.4920396,-0.2198412,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x1db48e81f883e9!8m2!3d51.4920396!4d-0.2198412) (moving across to the main venue at Olympia for the hackday presentations) **Booking**: https://digitalhealthrewired.com/rewired-hack-day/ Feel free to ask questions and discuss below. --- ## Post #2 by @mayfield.g.kev Any plans for outside London?

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: https://nhsconnect.github.io/CareConnectAPI/build_ri_install.html Some of the hacks done at the last INTEROPen (using CareConnect + GP Connect) are described here: https://medium.com/care-connect-fhir --- ## Post #9 by @pacharanero Sounds great Kev. Would you fancy doing a [Hackshop](https://www.openhealthhub.org/t/what-is-a-hackshop/1982) on CareConnect? M --- ## Post #10 by @mayfield.g.kev 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. --- ## Post #11 by @beegeek 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? --- ## Post #12 by @pacharanero [quote="beegeek, post:11, topic:1907"] 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? [/quote] Yep, you would be fine to come along and join a team. --- **Canonical:** https://openhealthhub.org/t/digital-health-rewired-2-day-hack-event-being-held-alongside-the-digital-health-rewired-event/1907 **Original content:** https://openhealthhub.org/t/digital-health-rewired-2-day-hack-event-being-held-alongside-the-digital-health-rewired-event/1907
