All proposals for the Call for Papers must be submitted online by Thursday, 31 January, at 17:00 CET (Central Europe Time). This unique event is designed to connect leading health information and communication technology experts from Europe and beyond in educational sessions, vendor exhibitions, interoperability demonstrations, exchange of experiences and networking sessions, and other professional development opportunities. 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 Health IT has on the health sector in Europe and other parts of the world, including the Middle East and Africa. The educational sessions will primarily address experiences from deployed services, and focus on proven benefits in quality and efficiency. The participants will also discuss the challenges faced by the early adopters. The demonstration activities will give unique insight into the practical aspects of IT systems and their connectivity. The exhibition is expected to be one of the largest Health IT industrial exhibitions to-date in Europe.
The submitted proposal will be reviewed and considered for possible program selection for the World of Health IT 2008 Conference & Exhibition. The majority of proposals selected will come from the region and geographic focus for the conference. Only a few selected proposals will be accepted or invited from outside the region.
