, general information
Theme: Building sustainable health systems
Four Pillars:
Sustainable health systems
National health challenges for the developed and developing world
Knowledge informing safe and effective health care
Social / political change
Health informatics is facing its greatest challenge. Over the next 20 years our national health systems will have to treat proportionately more people, with more illness, higher expectations, and more expensive technologies, but using relatively less money and fewer workers. Given that commentators today are alarmed at the present strains on the health system, we have to assume that by 2020, the healthcare system in most nations will thus either have somehow substantially transformed, or failed.
Information, knowledge management and communication technologies are crucial enablers of system change. If healthcare systems are to flourish in the coming setting of uncertain resources and increased demand, then they will have done so because we have explicitly designed and implemented new systems that are fundamentally sustainable. The vital question we face therefore is what form of health system can we envisage which is sustainable in the long run, and how do we set about building it?
Be a part of building the future of health systems delivery.
