[edit] Objectives for workshop/community participation
Interested in innovation of new ways of working / new environmetns for health. I've moderated the 2 launch preparatory meetings of this community (Brussels, March 10 and Budapest, May 14, 2004)
[edit] Initial vision regarding what/how should the AMI@Work family help to create in Europe by 2010
The ICT tecnology approach to change health and healthcare is not working. We need a more wider understanding of the issues influencing adoption and diffusion of systemic technology in health. Technology is in the end only a tool for delivery and management of health services. Engagement of all relevant actors and stakeholders is needed for systemic innovation.
