Events/Événements : Rural and Remote Telehealth Conference, Australia

Source: Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA).
The Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) invites you to attend our inaugural Rural and Remote Telehealth Conference, to be held from 29 - 31 May 2011 in Cairns.

The focus of this landmark forum will be to:

* Provide policy relevant input to Federal Government
There is significant telehealth activity across Australia, however much of the activity remains in siloed initiatives. With telehealth now a major focus of the Australian Government’s National Health and Hospitals Network reform agenda, this event will address the national impact and future direction of telehealth in Australia and provide key policy-relevant input to Federal Government, the National E-Health Transition Authority and the National Broadband Network.

* Articulate the strategic and operational attributes of telehealth
This conference will explore the strategic and operational attributes of telehealth and the transformational change in health policy and practice that is required to create an environment for telehealth to effectively support health consumers and clinicians.

* Demonstrate operational key success protocols and practices
This forum will be an important opportunity for attendees to share the successes and challenges of telehealth and to discuss the issues and trends in healthcare delivery via telehealth nationally and internationally.

* Network with clinicians and high level executives with passion for telehealth
