K 1: Opening Keynote Address: A New Age of Technology: An EHR for all the World click to read more
Time: 09:00
Location: Plenary Hall
The development of what is now called the Electronic Health Record (EHR) has been evolving over the past forty years. During that period, technology has undergone significant changes. Unfortunately, the development of the EHR and the EHR Systems has not kept pace with technology. Worse, current versions are based on the even older approach of paper systems. A new approach to the use of technology, taking advantage of new models for health care, recognition of the importance of data that is completed, trustable, and focused blended with the latest knowledge has great potential to influencing high quality care that is safe, affordable, appropriate and personal. The challenge is to develop models that can address the immediate needs of regions or countries and move toward a goal of a high quality of life around the world. This presentation will share thoughts of how this may be accomplished, of the challenges we might encounter, and paths that deliver desired results.

This presentation explores why this is so and shares insights to overcoming this problem.
