British Computer Society - BCS Health Scotland Conference 2010
The three main themes to be addressed at the BCS Health Scotland Conference 2010 are Quality, Innovation, and Efficiency. International speakers from Australia, Canada, Sweden, America, Ireland, Wales and numerous UK speakers will position themselves on current relevant issues such as patient safety, the quality strategy, efficiency gains from IT and more.
For the first time, the NHS Scotland eHealth Awards will be presented to eHealth teams in Scotland. These awards will be presented by Scottish Government and by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, to help boost the status of the IT profession in NHS Scotland at a time of significant change.
Moreover the new Vidiowiki delegate social networking tool will be used for linking up delegates before and after the event. Users can navigate a mind-map of delegates, speakers and exhibitors to create linkups and watch short clips about presentations and demos. This will help planning and networking before coming to the event.
A selection of posters will be available to view during the conference:
- A novel security risk assessment model - Napier University
- Clinical content modeling - NHS National Services Scotland
- Trans-national exchange of eHealth innovations in northern Europe- Aberdeen University
- A Study to evaluate the effectiveness of an electronic dashboard - Ulster hospital
