Our next health informatics webcast, titled 'Health Informatics and Developing Countries', will take place on 27 January 2006, 1-2pm (GMT).
Synopsis:
Developing the agenda for eHealth in developing countries may be helped by using a framework which has five components – the 5Cs. Firstly there is the Context of poverty, meeting the Millennium Development Goals and the role ICT can play to support health workers. Then, there is the Content of health information provided to health workers and how it can be migrated from being paper-based to a digital format. Providing wireless Connectivity within and between health facilities that supports the transmission of health knowledge and management information provides an entry-level health information infrastructure. Over such a health facility-based wireless infrastructure it then becomes possible to build workforce Capacity as well as support Community development, via the delivery of information to enable better individual and community decision-making in health and other development issues.
You will be able to ask questions in real time via the Internet.
