Why the conference
Healthcare IT Innovation Asia Summit, March 14-15, 2012 Singapore
The ageing population, chronic disease care and increased patient awareness call for the creation of a pervasive healthcare environment, placing more demand on resources to provide quality care for greater populations. Asian governments and hospitals are turning to technology as the key enabler to ensure patient safety and quality of care, and to yield better healthcare outcomes within the resource constrain.
The Singapore government, among a number of Asian governments, has implemented a nation-wide EHR connecting primary, secondary, tertiary and community care for enhanced patient experience and safety. In this process, major challenges identified include:
- Data storage, privacy and security
- Data management and analysis for enhanced clinical decision support, and for advancing medical research
- EHR funding models for its sustainable development
- Policies to protect data security and access control
- Adoption of cloud solutions, mobile, telemedicine and RFID technologies for improved patient safety
These can only be addressed through collaborations of all stakeholders including governments, hospital CXOs, department heads, technology providers and private investors.
The Healthcare IT Innovation Asia Summit provides a platform to bring together all stakeholders to address the issues and challenges faced in IT implementation and clinical work process designs.
The 2012 Healthcare IT Innovation summit:
-
Will attract over 150 end-user delegates capturing the entire value chain of healthcare transition and IT implementation
-
Will be held right at the center where the nation-wide EHR implementation is taking place
-
Place greater emphasis on end user experiences and clinicians’ involvement in the program
-
Is the only healthcare IT conference in Asia with a dedicated track on imaging informatics
