The World of Health IT 08 Conference & Exhibition

The World of Health IT 08 Conference is designed by and for clinicians and other health professionals; health IT users and buyers; directors and administrators; informatics professionals; academicians; relevant standardization and competent authorities on an international level and national level, and vendors (i.e. software and hardware development companies and professional services firms).

Because the adoption of IT in healthcare is a global initiative – one that affects the healthcare community throughout the world – this conference will focus on the role and impact of Health IT on the health sector in Europe and other parts of the world, including the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The educational sessions will primarily address experiences from deployed services, and focus on proven benefits in quality and efficiency. The demonstration activities will give unique insight into the practical aspects of IT systems and their connectivity.

Topics to be addressed in the conference include:

  • eHealth as a Key Enabler in Integrated Healthcare and Citizen Empowerment
  • Organisational Readiness for Transformation in Healthcare
  • Investing for eHealth Deployment
  • Innovation and eHealth
Designed to be dynamic and interactive, The World of Health IT 2008 Conference & Exhibition will engage participants in thought-provoking discussions and offer ways to experience technology applications first-hand.
