1. Clinical Content Governance in Web2.0 environment - Heather Leslie, Sebastian Garde, Ian McNicoll
Abstract. Jurisdictions and organisations increasingly recognise the need for harmonisation and standardisation of clinical content specifications to support interoperability of health information. With the advent of the Web2.0 approach to broad, online community collaboration, it has now become possible to develop inclusive clinical content models, ensure validation of content models by experts as clinically appropriate for use in our electronic health records (EHRs) and avoid traditional pitfalls of domain expertise, geographical and jurisdictional constraints. As a result, we need a new approach to clinical knowledge governance.

2. openEHR - from Theory to Implementation - Ian McNicoll , Rong Chen, Anže Droljc
Abstract. From its inception in 2003, and building on many previous years of academic research and practical experience, openEHR has steadily developed from a research-evidenced theoretical framework to deliver a set of practical technologies, methodologies and applications. These support the broad scope of e-health implementation, from clinical modelling and governance to full-scale, model-driven application development. In this tutorial attendees will be given an overview of the openEHR framework and associated methodologies, followed by practical examples of the ways in which the theoretical foundation flows through to implementation, drawing on real-world experience. The material will reflect the tutors' broad practical experience of openEHR clinical content authoring, software development methodology and model-driven application development, underpinned by a commitment to building national and international interoperability standards.
