Thank you - I can’t take the credit as others (such as @Lucyw and @lara) have taken that and run with it a long way already.
This is very impressive!!! And I love the way that it includes te reo Māori terms.
Here is another source, this time @lara’s from the Clinical Digital Academy course:

How to proceed?
What we can do here in the eHealth Forum is ensure that our national digital health community can easily take ownership of it and contribute to it sustainably (in a wikipedia-esque manner), whilst making it maximally discoverable via search engines and the like. Then it will potentially become a living resource for everyone’s benefit.
The key element is that we all agree to do it together and share out both the work and the benefits.
Practicalities within the eHealth Forum - a hybrid approach
We’ve got three key ways of tackling this (all linked together). These have been experimented with a bit and seem workable: you can check out the drafts.
-
Having a single wiki topic that includes all abbreviations and brief definitions in a table
- this would be similar to @Lucyw’s spreadsheet, but not as complex
- see https://ehealthforum.nz/t/abbreviations-table-trial/30085
-
Having a dedicated #support:glossary Category
- a dedicated structured wiki topics for selected terms which justify more info and further information / links
-
Auto-linking forum text to these abbreviations and topics
