[okfn-discuss] Open Standards for the NHS?

Fri Oct 5 08:25:34 UTC 2012

Hi All,

Thought this might possibly be of interest. NHS is having a hackday
next week 10-14 Oct, to help shape the next generation of their tech
infrastructure. They've framed it as an 'open data platform' using
real-anonymised data to address service delivery challenges:

"The organisation has said the open data platform will also monitor
the quantity and quality of community services, which costs the NHS
more than £10 billion per year, through the national implementation of
a ‘community information dataset’."
