Nobody need be hobbled by galacial megacorp development lead times! We can have clinical record systems deployed to the public cloud (DH/NHSX recommend, we've practical experience of having done it) We can iterate such systems at pace (Likely 4 Covid releases this week alone)
6. @dr_michaelmarks @gpollara @thatdavidmiller opportunity cost to not capturing whats going on in a structured way is big. of course hard to design / decide right data fields etc to capture prospectively but at least @ohcuk at Royal Free not hobbled by glacial megacorp dev

Anyone currently managing data capture for Covid19 for clinical care or research with ad hoc spreadsheets should definitely get in touch - usable clinical software to manage patients with infection is something we can help with
5. @dr_michaelmarks @gpollara @thatdavidmiller open source nhs clinical infection software is potentially much more widely valuable in covid19 research, I know @The_MRC @wellcometrust funding++, I know too much being done clinically adhoc using spreadsheets

It’s not a proper @NHSHackDay until you’ve overheard “But I think the problem with the NHS is….” at least a few times :D #nhshd If you like starting conversations with this sentence, or even other similar sentences come join the conversation at @ukhealthcamp :) #ukhc18

Off to Newcastle! Talking to the NHS about open sourcing their software and the need for open standards. If you have good examples of NHS services which have been coded in the open - please share them with me 😀 – at Oxford, England

Systematically providing our NHS staff with IT systems which are not fit for purpose is like systematically buying our surgeons rusty scalpels. Reckless. This stuff is not easy, but it's not impossible either. xitter.cf/GdnHealthcare/status/9…

P.S. while we're glad that Windows support enables those of you trying to explore Opal on your work PC to do so, we'd still recommend deploying to a more Open Source operating system wherever possible. xitter.cf/opalframework/status/9…
