Nice Tuesday morning surprise to find your work on the front page of HN!

I am one of engineering team working on OpenSAFELY at the Bennett Institute.

Feel free to ask me any questions about the design or implementation of the system. We take patient privacy very seriously - it's something of a crusade for us!

Some more information

- all the researcher code is at https://github.com/opensafely

- all the platform code is at https://github.com/opensafely-core

- high level architecture overview talk by myself and my colleague Becky at PyCon UK '22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L55mq5wi3Cc

Nice! I've been out of healthcare for a couple years (although I'd like to go back) but I've worked for more than 10 years sending DICOM files back and forth, and doing some HL7 stuff.

A small question, as I'm a bit tight on schedule this week to watch your PyCon talk (although I'll watch it this weekend or next week):

How does this work to import/receive patient data? Does it get HL7 messages or "just" imports raw databases?

Thanks!
