65 CIOs & Heads of IM&T Gather to Debate the Future of Healthcare IT

4 - 6 December 2011, Manchester, UK.
In an industry driven by improving the quality of patient care, meeting regulations and controlling costs, leading Healthcare IT executives understand the strategic importance of working towards a digital era. As the population continues to age, chronic diseases grow and patients become empowered through new technologies, the Healthcare landscape has to adapt as its workload increases. Faced with eradicating inefficiencies, reducing medical errors and innovating a 'paperless' infrastructure, the Healthcare industry is deploying IT to streamline their processes and lower costs.

CIOs and Heads of IM&T will gather at the Midland Hotel in Manchester at the 2nd Healthcare IT Exchange to elaborate on the most efficient, innovative and collaborative technologies to Healthcare services.

Nick Goodwin, a Senior Fellow at The King's fund, Peter Russell, Head of Health Informatics at Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and Will Smart, Director of IM&T at Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust will debate how ICT can deliver real value for patients, health professionals and tax payers in the future. Neil Darvill, Director of Informatics, St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust will focus on ePatient records and how to create a single view of a patient.

Charles Gutteridge, National Clinical Director for Informatics in England at the Department of Health, Peter Manser, Head of IM&T, East of England Specialised Commissioning Board, Aiden Walsh, CIO, NHS North West London and many more will also be offering their insights.

Last year the Healthcare IT Exchange was very well received. "Enlightening event demonstrating innovative use of information and IT in the NHS" said the Head of Application Design at NHS Wales Informatics Service. Head of ICT, Leeds Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust summed up the event as "A good opportunity to combine networking and learning of new business solutions".

Collaboration and networking are the drivers behind the Exchange, so along with cutting edge content delivered by some of the UKs leading IT directors, delegates will also be participating in pre-scheduled meeting with selected solution providers to discuss their technology and advisory needs.
