EC to hold e-health management workshop

The European Commission is holding an e-health management workshop on 9 June in Barcelona, Spain.

The workshop will review IT management issues in e-health, and is aimed at two sets of people: those with a particular interest in e-health and those with a general interest in public services and their use of information and communication technologies.

Organisers said the event “is all about sharing your own experiences and good practices. Especially welcome are health service managers and executives, public sector officials, civil servants, ICT managers, designers and implementers.”

The workshop will demonstrate examples of interesting good practices in the e-health field, providing lessons learnt and ideas on IT, mainly focusing on the management of implementation and change in relation to IT.

Speakers will include e-health experts, and the workshop will be introduced by an official from the EC Directorate General Information Society and Media’s ICT for health department.

An overview will be given by a keynote speaker from the sector, followed by a brief presentation of three good practice cases.

The workshop will then be divided into three parallel sessions in which each case will be explored in further detail. A number of core issues and questions will be discussed throughout the day.

Attendees are encouraged to ‘bring their own case histories” and share them with the audience.
