“There are tremendous benefits to our society if we apply openness to health care. A major drawback of our current system is that information is not shared in a prompt way and we do not take advantage of contributions that researchers, medical professionals, and patients can make. This leads, for example, to a tremendous time lag between scientific medical advances and when they are generally used by medical professionals.” Dr. Paul Horn, Chair, Digital Connections Council, Committee for Economic Development (CED) and former Senior Vice President, Research, IBM Corporation
As stated in the CED’s recent report Harnessing Openness to Transform American Healthcare, bringing greater openness in different parts of the healthcare production chain can lead to substantial benefits by facilitating collaboration, speeding research, stimulating innovation, lowering costs, reducing errors, and closing the gap between discovery and treatment delivery. The World Health Care Congress Leadership Summit on Transforming Healthcare through Open Source Innovation is designed for healthcare professionals who want to learn more about opportunities to implement Open Source innovations in their field; or, who have already done so and would like to share their stories.
Do you want to know how Open Source systems can meet your organization’s needs today?
Open Source systems are inherently flexible and replicable, users pay for services rather than licenses, and Open Source systems have attained a level of diversity, proliferation and maturity in healthcare that many will find surprising. Indeed, the most widely proliferated information system in healthcare is Open Source… but why then are so many organizations still lagging behind in adopting this innovation?
Do you want to learn more about:
- The added value of Open Source systems in healthcare?
- The range of Open Source applications across the healthcare continuum?
- How Open Source systems can be effectively integrated with other information management systems?
- How to manage opportunities and barriers to Open Source adoption?
If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions, then this is the event for you!
Co-Located with the 4th Annual World Healthcare Innovation and Technology Congress (WHIT v.4.0)! Click here for more details!
