John Fox Workshop on Mobilising Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) in the UK

The idea of computable biomedical knowledge has existed for at least 50 years, in the context of clinical decision support systems. With recent pressures on health systems and staff and progress in AI and Learning Health Systems, it has become both more feasible and more important to mainstream this idea, as the US Mobilising Computerised Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) group has recognised.

On 29th October 2019, a group including the Faculty of Clinical Informatics, BCS Health & Care, HL7 UK, NICE, HDRUK and The Learning Healthcare Project held the first UK workshop on mobilising computable biomedical knowledge at the Friends House, Euston Road, London.

In this video, founder of OpenClinical.net and senior research fellow at Oxford University John Fox gave a talk on models of computable knowledge and the OpenClinical platform.

The Learning Health Systems journal (run by Chuck Friedman, global leader in MCBK, and published in collaboration with University of Michigan) is now accepting MCBK computable papers in addition to traditional human readable papers.
