OpenClinical

has been created to:

  • Promote decision support, clinical workflow and other knowledge management technologies in patient care and clinical research;
  • Disseminate methods and tools for building healthcare knowledge applications that comply with the highest quality, safety and ethical standards;
  • Build a community of individuals, organisations and commercial companies who believe in the value of knowledge management, and who wish to contribute to the definition and adoption of open technical standards for medical applications.

The OpenClinical Web site is aimed in particular at healthcare professionals and managers, medical informaticians and computer scientists and industry.  A “one-stop shop” for anyone interested in learning about and tracking developments on advanced knowledge management technologies for healthcare such as point-of-care decision support systems, “intelligent” guidelines and clinical workflow.

Health Informatics Forum

is a social networking website for health informatics professionals and students from around the world.

Administered by Dr Chris Paton – a Clinical Research Fellow (Medical Doctor) at Oxford University, the site has over 7,000 registered members and provides access to Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) materials that use content developed through a $10 million grant from the Office of the National Coordinator in the US.

There’s a Forum and Chat for members, a Blog, Links, etc and it has a jobs board with a number of advertised US-based roles which will benefit our wider audience as it starts to show more international postings.

We find the resource directory is useful as a source of links on a variety of topics (journals, books, institutions, etc) and you’ll find us (health-informatics.co) on the education links page under “international” programs.
