Global E-Health Forum - Hamburg 2011

11 - 13 October 2011, Hamburg, Germany.
Improving the quality of healthcare, increasing the efficiency of the systems and ensuring patient empowerment - these are the common goals worldwide when discussing the necessary transformation of the systems in order to guarantee a sustainable healthcare delivery in the future. The Global E-Health Forum - Hamburg 2011 will represent major stakeholders involved in designing personalized healthcare.

"E-Health is increasingly seen as a key enabler for this transformation," so Ljubisav Matejevic, founder and honorary chairman of the Global E-Health Forum. "And as a key enabler for the evolution process towards personalized healthcare. Healthcare that is proactive, instead of reactive, gives the patients the opportunity and the responsibility to become more involved in their own health. The ultimate goal will be to shape preventive and diagnostic care to match each person's unique characteristics."

The initiators of the Global E-Health Forum - Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, IBM and ICC - have developed this platform to discuss e-health strategies, best practices and new services/patient-centric approaches in a global context. While the main target groups consist of CEOs, CIOs and CFOs of hospitals and clinics, the comprehensive program will also attract representatives from governmental bodies, health insurance organizations, service providers, influencers from hospital and health management associations as well as representatives from universities/research institutes. Canada supports the Global E-Health Forum - Hamburg 2011 as partner country.
