Global Public Health & Technology Conference May 1, 2010 Harvard Kennedy School |
PHAT has partnered with GHDonline.org, an online platform of communities developed by the Global Health Delivery Project, to provide a forum for continuing the dialogue about the topics discussed at the event. We have just posted the content from the session titled Effective EMR: Moving Beyond the Technology, along with discussion questions in the GHDonline.org Health IT Community. You can access the discussion here: What non-technological factors make EMR effective?. If you are not already a member of GHDonline.org, we encourage you to join! It is a fantastic resource for engaging others with similar interests across the globe. Future discussions will include mHealth Solutions and Health ICT Failures. We look forward to talking with you more both online and offline!
In addition, all the videos and presentations from Global PHAT 2010 have now been posted in the online resources.
Global PHAT 2010: Moving Beyond the Technology puts the health technology in context, focusing on human-centered, practical implementation strategies in developing country settings. This one day event brings together health technology implementers to examine the critical factors that make cutting edge health technologies successful, including capacity building, partnership development, monitoring and evaluation, workflow and information flow optimization, and cultural contexts. Information and communications technologies (ICTs) have the potential to transform health delivery throughout the world, whether through the use of electronic health records to manage HIV/AIDS care in rural Uganda or mobile devices providing community health workers with decision support in the field.
