Session Description

Healthcare is one of the largest expenditure items in most countries. Pressures include ageing, increasing demands, new and often expensive medical technologies and medications, consumer and political pressures. There are concerns about safety and quality, and delivering more with constrained finances. Healthcare information is fragmented reflecting the needs of individual providers rather than for life-time coordinated and proactive care. There are expectations of the potential of ICT to improve healthcare, move to a wellness model, provide more care in home and community settings, better enable health systems to identify priorities and select evidence-based interventions. This session will report on innovation in ICT in healthcare and realisation of benefits.

Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution. It is IBIMA policy to send complete papers to two reviewers for full blind peer review and to send a summary of review back to the author(s) . Short papers/abstracts will be reviewed by reviewer and/or the editor. All review comments and suggestions should be addressed in the final submission. Submitted Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.

Conference proceedings will be published as an e-book on a CD (ISBN:0-9753393-8-9)
