Conf-IRM 2015 Healthcare-IT Forum

Realizing the Healthcare Digital Enterprise

Wednesday May 20, 2015 (9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.)

Delta Ottawa City Centre Hotel

101 Lyon Street N, Ottawa, Ontario

 

Background:

The digitization of healthcare processes and practices is moving ahead full steam with both government, private sector businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and individual clinicians making significant investment of resources to achieve a more effective, efficient, and less costly healthcare system. However, achieving the full healthcare digital enterprise is a very difficult and contested journey full of achievements, pitfalls, miscalculations, and improvisations. There are no quick fixes in this process. Success in the end will come through collaborative effort on the part of all the stakeholders to commit to a journey of learning and innovation.

 

This forum is part of the 2015 International Conference on Information Resources Management (Conf-IRM). We have put together a program that will bring academics and healthcare practitioners together to discuss issues faced in accomplishing the digitization of the healthcare enterprise. This opportunity to share experiences from research and practice promises to enrich our understanding of both the achievements and challenges faced by those involved efforts to improve healthcare delivery.

 

The program for the forum includes the following:

  1. An international Keynote presentation
  2. A panel of medical experts involved in leading digitization programs in Canada
  3. A panel of academic experts doing research in the area of healthcare IT
