Hospital Waiting List Workshop 1 of 4

[Flora Fleischer]

Dear all,

you are cordially invited to join Open Knowledge Ireland and friends for a one day workshop geared to use the recently published Hospital Wait Time data to create tools & products in order for ALL citizens to be able to benefit of the availability of that information. We are taking advantage of the fact that for the first time Hospital Waiting List (HWL) data is available in machine readable format for the first time.

Date: 25 March 2017
Time: 10am – 6pm
Venue: Dovetail Technologies, Guinness Enterprise Centre, Taylor's Lane, Dublin 8, Ireland (Location)

Registration: https://ti.to/open-knowledge-ireland/Waiting-List-Workshop-1

The workshop is designed to link up those who are suffering from long hospital wait times, with those that have relevant data and with those that are able to use the data and build tools, applications and products for the benefit of patients and all citizens.

We will be working together on our Open Hospital Waiting List Project to:

• identify best practices in using public data on hospital wait times for the benefit of the public 
• enable the public to monitor hospital wait times & performance
• make better decisions as to where to obtain health services
• increase transparency and accessibility of hospital data (i.e. waiting lists) through data liberation;
• develop a strategy to make this information and the whole subject known to the wider public.

Who should attend: This is a community based project and anyone with a desire to help improve hospital wait times for the greater good is welcome and in fact we need all hands on deck. Attendees will have a fun and productive day when groups are matched up between patients, citizens, open data, digital, tech, analytics and public service subject matter experts in order to allow those who have the skills to use the data and build tools to learn from those that are suffering from long hospital wait times in order to solve real social problems.

Hi Flora,

This looks really good and I would love to join in, but unfortunately due to family commitments I can't make it. I hope to at least make it to some of the workshops in this series - will it be possible to get an update/summary of progress made to stay in the loop?

Thanks,

eoin

Hi Eoin,

thank you for your interest. We will publish an update, the outcomes of the workshop and next steps on our website / blog and we'll send the same update to this group, too. Very likely there will be an opportunity to progress the work in between the workshops and we're happy to catch you up following the workshop if you're interested in getting involved.

Many thanks,

Flora
