The health information standards community is moving from Yammer to Discourse

Yammer has provided a good home to our online standards community the past few years, but we are now planning a move to a new and better platform for two-way discussion about standards. The new platform is called healthforum.nz, which uses open source Discourse software and is run by Nathan Kershaw of CiLN fame. HISO standards will have its own space on healthforum.nz and I’ll be letting you know how to make the move with us over the next two or three weeks ahead of the planned cutover date of 3 May 2021.
In the meantime I’m looking for volunteers to test out the new site, so if that’s you please use this registration link: https://healthforum.nz/invites/71495fb90dd20b97912b51dda531ff54

Great idea! More engaging that way!

I have just registered, looks useful.

Thanks Matt - that is indeed a bit of a glitch we have. I’ve put you in the HISO group so you can take a look. If anyone else is already on Health Forum NZ, this link will put you in the correct group:

Also, since we have so many popping over I’ll make a space where you can have a bit more of a play. The existing posts in https://healthforum.nz/c/data-digital/standards are a mirror of here.

Here’s a Discourse registration link https://healthforum.nz/invites/71495fb90dd20b97912b51dda531ff54; (kindly provided by @NathanK) if you would like to try out Discourse ahead of the move on 3 May

Or scan the QR code to register, if that’s more fun than clicking the link!

Love your work!

I had to make a new one as it I couldn’t import that one into HFNZ due to how Yammer saves images. Thought I’d tweak it a little too - is in your post above now.

later - actually it was just me being a little thick. It is easy to download images from Yammer, I just had to click on it once. Sorry!

This will be a great move, I believe. I tried the volunteer link, but it says it’s only available to people who don’t already have an account on healthforum.nz. Is that intended?

A reminder that we’ll be using the Discourse site healthforum.nz from Monday 3 May and this Yammer site will be mothballed. If you haven’t already, please register here for your Discourse account at https://healthforum.nz/invites/71495fb90dd20b97912b51dda531ff54 or scan the QR code below

We’re now live on healthforum.nz and this of course replaces Yammer as the place for news and chat about health information standards. I’ll be posting regularly about HISO, SNOMED NZ and ISO/TC 215. Please start your own topics to share your own news and views.
