eHealth 2008 (UK) - Electronic Healthcare for the 21st Century

September 8th and 9th, 2008
City University, London EC1
This Conference is organized as a meeting point for telecare product vendors, policy makers, government ministers, academics, clinicians and all those involved in electronic & mobile health, to examine and to share ideas contributing to the advancement of telecare into the 21st century.

Remote diagnostics and patient management technologies in telemedicine has been highlighted as being one of the key components of healthcare for the 21st century. This event will bring together the clinicians, healthcare industries, policy makers, ministers and academics under one roof to discuss the issues surrounding the interoperability standards, policies and products in telecare solutions. It will provide an opportunity to hear from key people in the world of eHealth and also see in action some of the telecare solutions at the exhibitions, which will be running in conjunction with the conference.

Topics covered include

  • What pitfalls and challenges need to be considered (e.g. data management policies, legacy environments, system-to-system integration and reliability, testing)?
  • What architecture considerations, infrastructure and supporting common process are required?
  • Benefits and challenges with implementation of process standards
  • What have we learned from our implementation efforts to-date: commercial and governmental?
  • How to monitor and evaluate the benefits of eHealth solutions?
  • Examining how patients and care providers' lives can be transformed by the eHealth solutions
  • Privacy legislation updates on current implementation achievements and challenges
  • Security services what are the identity management requirements?
  • Professional Confidentiality and Trust what ethical and legal obligations must be considered?
  • Motivation, incentive and alignment - connections between the will and the way, exploration of the core elements needed to encourage sustainable change as new systems are introduced and grounded in the practice environment
  • Getting stakeholders involved in planning and development and sharing the benefits as new technologies are realized
