This presentation provides:
- An update on the ALISS project outline we gave to the 2009 BCS Health Scotland conference;
- An overview of the activities we’ve been working on with networks of people with Long-Term Conditions;
- A preview of the data-quality-assurance approach we’ve embedded within the informatics element of the project.

Update: timeline since autumn 2009 2010 2011 open innovation process spin-off activities in Renfrewshire ALISS and school-students (CfE) building the Engine… …building the Engine exploring curation GP Links project ‘ Matchable’ health: service-design & well-being SI camp & Invisible Ramps Asset-mapping MH&W-B Glasgow eHealth project (GPs & curation) Living well@the Library
13. We’ve always been more interested in insights, than numbers: some early ethnography at http:// inthelongterm.wordpress.com /
26. The school set us in their own context (the European Comenius project)…
27. And the pupils co-created a lesson plan, tested it on their own year-group, and plan to deliver it to others
28. Inspired by the student service-designers we met uring our open innovation process, we’ve developed Matchable – See http:// matchablehealth.wordpress.com /

This slide and the next are included to point up the impression that what ‘self management’ is rather depends on your institutional perspective (if you have such a thing in the first place). Here, it can be noted that from the clinicians point of view, the concept of SM seems to be firmly centred upon the patient visit to the clinician (activities are framed either before, during or after this event). Whereas the visit may not play that big a part in the patient’s year…
ALISS supports a similar process. The ALISS engine collects short descriptions and links to useful resources, either by people submitting things, or by getting them electronically from other systems in various ways. Once a resource is in the ALISS index, people with accounts can add keywords or more information, like sticking a post-it note on. We call that curation, meaning collecting information and labelling it in ways that make it more useful and easier to find. This means devolving control over content, which is not only in line with the ethic of self management but also more sustainable as it means no resources going to centralised administration. But, it’s not a free-for-all. All content is moderated, and you can filter it so you only get information from sources you trust. ALISS data can be published and searched by any other computer systems- the data is open and accessible across the web.
Once a resource is added to ALISS, it is added to the index. All additional curations are then combined in that the index. It means that, for example, if someone sees a resource as being useful for a different group, they can tag it and it will then show up in searches using that tag.
Searches to the engine will use that combined index entry to make the resource more findable, or a search can be limited to resources curated by a particular group or groups.
This means useful resources which might be scattered across lots of different systems, or not online at all, can now be indexed in one place which we call the ALISS Engine. The Engine can then be accessed by any system across the web. So it can feed other web sites, practice systems, libraries, advice centres, right across Scotland.
