Hi Tony,

Looks like an interesting proposal, think it would be good to chat and figure out how QEWD and OpenHIM could work together as you suggest. I think there could be some good gains to be had around leveraging the value add of both systems in an implementation! Lets chat this through when we get a minute.

thanks Carl, thats precisely what we had in mind

Do let me know when you can connect, I'll drop you an email,

Understand we need to get collab proposals done within the next week

thanks Tony

From the previous comments I cannot tell if the partners interested in collaboration have been able to connect with each other to prepare a joint proposal, but I look forward to seeing this happen.

The concept/proposal makes a reference to an OpenEHR persistence layer (EtherCIS?)  which looks promising. Is there a particular use case of QEWDjs with this layer that would allow a fast-track integration with OpenHIM making for a concrete opportunity for collaboration and a real test?

Also (possibly for consideration in a future proposal round), are there other ways to use the OpenEHR clinical models to help enable exchange even if the actual health information systems do not use OpenEHR?  E.g. are OpenEHR modeling tools mature enough to create mappings that can help implementers to support data exchange between systems with weaker modeling capabilities? If so could those tools become global goods too?
