Healthcare Informatics Society of Ireland Conference – The evolving role of ICT in the healthcare sector. Thursday, May 4th 2:00pm - 4:30pm in the RDS, Dublin 4. The
ProrecIreland/Healthcare Informatics Society of Ireland (HISI)/
session at ICT Expo focussed on ICT success in the health sector
in Ireland. Cutting edge technologies have brought great advances
to patient care and healthcare management in recent years. However
these advances have been overshadowed by negative media coverage
of ICT development and implementation in the sector. The importance of ICT in healthcare delivery at every level was highlighted in speaker's presentations and case studies from users. Positive news and success stories in the development, implementation and utilisation of information systems and technologies were featured. Enterprise Ireland played a key role in the conference, reflecting the agency's welcome decision to adopt a proactive position in supporting the ICT healthcare sector in Ireland.
