OpenClinical news

From Richard Thomson, Editor, OpenClinical

As you know, one of the aims of OpenClinical is to provide a high quality information service for members, with regular additions to the clinical knowledge management resources on the site. Since our last News we have put up a number of new resources , including links to new demonstrations of clinical applications.

OpenClinical has also initiated its programme of sponsored activities with two open workshops planned for later this year. The first, in collaboration with Stanford University, will discuss current computer methods for capturing clinical guidelines and decision support systems; the second, with the EU-funded Spirit project, will cover Open Source medical knowledge.

Reactions to the site continue to be very positive ( the British Medical Journal was impressed by OpenClinical's collection of resources), and we are rapidly recruiting new members from all over the world.

A number of further services and activities for members are in preparation, as well as a major new project to create an active OpenClinical community network.

You can support OpenClinical by forwarding this email to your colleagues and by letting us know (at open@openclinical.org) about any project, product or service that you think other members may be interested in.

Thanks for your participation in the OpenClinical project.
