eHealth Capacity Project
AMIA convened the conference on eHealth capacity in August 2008, and focused on building the global health workforce in developing countries. eHealth is defined as the use of information and communications technology to improve the performance of health systems and represents a promising frontier.
The conference was part of a summer long series entitled Making the eHealth Connection: Global Partnerships, Local Solutions (see http://www.ehealth-connection.org/) and brought together various disciplines including biomedical and health informatics (education, training, and research), public health, epidemiology, primary care, and management and multiple professional views (i.e., physicians, nurses, informaticians, academicians and educators, ministers of health, industry subject matter experts, and public and private sector funders) to help create an ongoing, long-term vision for an infrastructure to train and support a global informatics workforce to help improve health care delivery to individuals and populations.
