'Enabling Sector-Wide eHealth Transformation' - Laying out the Game Plan
Where: James Cook Grand Chancellor Hotel, Wellington (show map)
During 2008 and 2009, the HINZ Seminar Series focused on the topic of whether and how to share electronic health records. This year we continue in this role, informing the debate and discussion on how we go forward and create an interoperable environment. The theme for the 2010 HINZ Seminar Series is Enabling Sector-Wide eHealth Transformation, and the first seminar is entitled Laying out the Game Plan.
This event will also be video linked to Auckland, at the Clinical Education Centre, Auckland City Hospital. Attendees can view the seminar and interact with the presenters and audience.
