HIC 2010 Call for Papers
The Health Informatics Society of Australia invites the submission of papers for the 2010 Health Informatics Conference to be held 24 - 26 August 2010 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
"Informing the business of healthcare" will examine the latest developments in the generation and use of the information with which healthcare is managed and improved; in the home, clinic and across the continuum of care. HIC 2010 will canvass the following key themes:
Improving the healthcare delivery through the capture and use of data
The feedback loop: the importance of secondary data use
Measuring the benefits of health informatics
Identifying the clinical and economic opportunities of new technologies
HIC 2010 will look at the practical systems and process issues that need to be addressed now, to meet the challenges of the future. It will also provide an opportunity for vendors and researchers to showcase the technologies of the future.
With the health reform agenda advancing, HIC 2010 will provide a forum for developing an action plan for assisting reform through informatics.
We look forward to your participation at HIC 2010 in Melbourne.
