Innovation
in Healthcare Technology Workshop
Overview
Healthcare
is a vital field that concerns every citizen and community. Accordingly,
governments care for this field in order to preserve their valuable human
resources. Governments achieve this goal by dedicating a big share of their
financial resources, employing scientific potentialities, and utilizing
technologies to support healthcare frameworks. Developing countries face
challenges to balance healthcare costs with quality. Based on this fact, this
workshop will focus on two themes that are affordable and applicable to resolve
the complex equation. These two themes are: hospital automation and
telemedicine.
The first theme concerns with the efficient
hospital managements and performance management methods. This dimension can be
achieved by applying effective managerial practices and indicators that are
utilized in powerful information management system and efficient performance
management framework. Information management system ensures the integrity and
validity of the applied managerial practices and provides better management for
assets, patient’s records, human resources, etc. Such a system maximizes
healthcare quality and minimizes operational costs and efforts whatever the
affiliate that deploy it. Performance management framework doesn’t only monitor
of the performance of each hospital activity against preset targets, but also
provides proactive alerts for decision makers to deal with any low performing
unit.
The second theme concerns with telemedicine.
Telemedicine is a rapidly developing application of clinical medicine where
medical information is transferred through telecommunication medium for the purpose
of consulting, remote medical procedures or examinations. Telemedicine benefits
are not limited to ease of access, convenience, quicker/correct diagnostics,
safety, less anxiety, more empowerment, but there are many other benefits. The
workshop emphasizes on cooperation between telecommunication services providers
and electronic healthcare services providers as such cooperation can reveal new
investment opportunities for all involved parties.
