The Global E-Health Forum 2010
Strategies, Solutions and Services for Sustainable Healthcare Delivery
The Global E-Health Forum, which will take place on October 25-26, 2010, in Hamburg, Germany, will address the main challenges healthcare systems all over the world are facing: demographic
shifts, the impact of globalization and an increased burden of chronic diseases and expensive treatments.
Due to limited budgets and increasing demand for high-quality healthcare services, new cost-efficient, reliable and interconnected systems need to be developed. E-health can make a significant contribution to ensure high-quality, sustainable healthcare systems.
Ljubisav Matejevic, Founder and Director of the Global E-Health Forum: “E-health, meaning the application of information and communication technologies across the whole range of functions that affect the health sector, can make an important contribution to ensure a high-quality healthcare service for all citizens now and in the future.”
The first conference day at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce will feature strategy and best practice presentations of speakers from Asia, Europe, New Zealand and the U.S.A. The conference program also includes workshops and discussion forums as well as an accompanying exhibition of solution providers. An evening reception for the attendees will be held at the U.S. Consulate General.
The second day will take place in two hospitals of Asklepios, recognized as one of the most innovative leading hospital groups. There, conference attendees may expect hands-on presentations and workshops as well
as guided tours. A panel discussion entitled “Connecting Competence for E-Health Services – What Customers Expect, What Healthcare Has to Deliver” completes the program.
The primary aim of the organizers of the Global E-Health Forum, the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, IBM and the European Health Telematics Association (EHTEL), is to provide a cross-sector forum for representatives from hospitals and clinics (CEOs, CFOs, CIOs), governments, health insurance organizations, service providers and the media. Policymakers, users, suppliers and implementation managers will have the opportunity to learn from each other and to develop collaborative working relationships.
