Congress addresses the latest topics
Key topics at conhIT 2015 will include the future law governing e-health. This will be the subject of in-depth discussion with views from various perspectives at the Congress events. "Furthermore, we will be focusing on the increasing role of the patient. More and more options now exist for collecting and managing one's own health data. There is also a desire to get people more involved in their own healthcare. We need to discuss this trend as well as data protection, IT security and big data issues," says Prof. Dr. Paul Schmücker, president of the conhIT Congress.
Another main point is the future role of IT in hospitals against the backdrop of ever-growing challenges in the hospital IT environment. Topics include optimisation of treatment processes, setting up of computer-aided risk management, introduction of a healthcare telematics platform and implementation of the law governing IT security.
